Johannesburg - All three of President Jacob Zuma's wives are equal, his spokesperson said on Wednesday.
"The understanding is that the president will decide who goes with him where," said Thabo Masebe.
"He hasn't decided that only one is the first lady. He will decide at any given time who will go with him. He may go with all three of them.
"It is his prerogative."
According to Zuma's profile on the presidency's website, the 67-year-old president is married to three women and has 19 children.
His three wives, who all attended his presidential inauguration, are Sizakele (MaKhumalo), Nompumelelo (MaNtuli) and Tobeka Madiba, according to the presidential website.
