Swaziland's King Mswati III took an 18-year-old former Miss Teen Swaziland finalist as his 12th wife during the weekend, barely two weeks after marrying his 11th, media in the tiny African kingdom said. Nothando Dube was selected as Mswati's fiancee after last year's Reed Dance, an event where thousands of maidens dance bare breasted in honor of the Queen Mother and where Mswati has chosen wives in the past.It's funny, that's how I met my wife, too.
The Times of Swaziland's Sunday edition quoted Mswati's traditional prime minister, Jim Gama, as saying that Dube's nuptials had been concluded Saturday night.
| "The sultry wench with the fire in her eyes and the bouncy honkers — bring her to my tent! I shall conclude the nuptials on her!" |
| "I'll bring you back something special from gay Paree, baby!" |
| What? They have 'em every Friday night? Or only when he's horny? |
| Nothing here that relieving their debts won't cure. Well, except for the starvation, HIV, looting of the treasury, horny kings, etc... |
Mswati early in June said he was not sub-Saharan Africa's only absolute monarch
[just the one with the most wives and luxury cars and whose population is most ravaged by AIDs and hunger], contending that although political parties were banned in Swaziland, he only made decisions after consulting with the people
[ . . . at gigantic dances attended solely by bare-breasted maidens].
In 1973 Mswati's father, Sobhuza, whose authorized biography says he had 45 official wives, tore up the constitution of the former British protectorate, sandwiched between South Africa and Mozambique. Mswati's officials are drafting a new constitution, which is set to uphold the ban on political parties.
| I've still got a soft spot for him, ever since he forbade Swazi women to wear pants. But maybe I'm just kinky that way... |
