Swaziland’s King Marries 19-Year Old As 14th Wife

So this is why he makes them parade bare chested every year.
After weeks of speculation, Swaziland’s King Mswati the Third has officially unveiled a new bride, Siphelele Mashwama

(19), daughter of a Swaziland Cabinet minister, Jabulile Mashwama.

At the annual reed dance held last week, popularly known as the Umhlanga Annual Reed Dance, Siphelele was given red feathers known as emagwalagwala, a bird that is associated with the royal family. Siphelele is the fourteenth wife including his other wives that left him.
