| Baadhi ya  Wasichana vigori wa Swazland wakiwa kwenye gwaride rasmi tayari mmoja  wao kuchaguliwa na King Mswati 11 kuwa mke wake. Mchakato huo hufanyika  kila mwaka. Once described as the ‘luckiest man’ in Africa, Swaziland’s King  Mswati III picked an 18 year-old beauty contestant as his 14th wife,  revealed a palace spokesman.
 “I can confirm that the king has introduced to the nation a new  liphovela (royal fiancee),” said Timothy Mtetwa, the palace governor.
 
 The  King is said to have ‘noticed’ the 18-year-old former high school  student who graduated last year in the Reed Dance ceremony held last  month. The Reed Dance is an annual traditional Swazi dance ceremony  where young Swazi women parade past the king, bare-chested, to allow the  King to pick a new wife. The ceremony has become a tourist sensation in  the small landlocked southern African country as sometimes tourists  join the dance ‘just for the fun of it’. In may, a 15-year old student at a local private school near the  residence palace of the king’s fourth wife fled to Britain after the  king begun making advances at her to join the harem of his then 13  wives.![Young Swazis participate in the Reed Dance.

It took the  intervention of the aunt who smuggled her out to Britain to continue  with her education.
 
 The  new bride, Sindiswa Dlamini, whom the King picked last month, was  introduced to the royal household adorned in red feathers after it was  found expectant. It is a tradition that the King’s virgin pick must  become pregnant before joining the country’s royalty.![King Mswati.
