Africa's last absolute monarch King Mswati III is set to increase the number of his wives after confirmation from his palace that he had chosen an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant as his 15th wife.
45-year-old Mswati, famed for his opulent lifestyle, introduced Sindiswa Dlamini at a Reed Dance celebration over the weekend.
Mswati reportedly has a personal fortune of around $200 million and the UN estimates that 70% of his 1.2 million subjects live below the poverty line.
The Swazi King currently has 24 children. His father & predecessor, King Sobhuza II married 70 wives fathering 210 children with them & had more than 1000 grandchildren at the time of his death in 1982.
