Mswati III, the current King of Swaziland and head of the
Swazi Royal Family has married a 19-year-old girl as his 14th wife.
According to Buzz SA, King Mswati’s new bride, 19-years-old
Siphelele Mashwama is the daughter of Jabulile Mashwama, a Swaziland Cabinet
Minister.
Siphelele Mashwama who graduated from Swaziland’s Waterford
Kamhlaba World University College is currently in the United States with King
Mswati, who is attending the United Nations general assembly.
However, it’s a common tradition in Swaziland for the king
to choose a wife every year. Last year, the King picked a new bride during the
well-known Reed Dance ceremony, also known as Umhlanga.
The Reed Dance ceremony is an annual Swazi and Zulu
tradition held in August or September. In Swaziland, tens of thousands of
unmarried and childless Swazi girls and women travel to Ludzidzini to
participate in the eight-day event and would-be brides are publicly checked to
ascertain that their virginity was still intact.
This king will never know what true love is.
Lol.
