Sue Nyathi authored "The Polygamist" after witnessing corporate Harare's hidden polygamy culture and her book has been adapted into a globally renowned Netflix original series. She details it all. Publishers rejected it with formal letters. She borrowed money from a friend and self-published in 2012. For five years, sales were slow. Then in 2017, word-of-mouth changed everything. By 2022, Stained Glass Pictures optioned the book. In 2024, Netflix acquired the series. In January 2026, The Polygamist became #1 in 16 countries worldwide.
