#1 Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Lesotho's King Pakalitha Mosisili and United States assistant secretary for African affairs Jendayi Frazer were among guests, as were the presidents of Madagascar, Uganda, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique and Malawi.

The Swazi King paid $2.5m for this party while 70% of his people live on less than $1. per day. Mswati's the bloke that responded to the HIV/AIDS crisis in 2001 by banning sex for women under 18. Just two months after imposing the ban, the king fined himself a cow for breaking it by taking a 17-year-old girl as his ninth wife. He has since lifted the ban. Frazer should have called John Bolton and got his opinion on her attendance at this circus.
