This is the richest king in Africa.He has 16 wives, 45 children, 13 royal palaces, private jets, millions of luxury cars and watches, and a net worth of over $200 million.Yet 60% of his people live in poverty and don’t have enough food to eat.
This is King M Swati, the third.The king of Eswatini, a tiny country in Southern Africa was called Swaziland.This country doesn’t practice any form of democracy.They are Africa’s absolute monarch, which means the king makes all the decisions in the country.
King M Swati became king at the age of 18 and he lives like a movie star.He wears expensive clothes and watches, rides private jets and custom made Rolls Royce cars.He even bought 15 Rolls Royces for all of his 15 wives.Like he’s got every expressive things you can think of.And every year he hosts a national dance ceremony for single women to come and dance topless for him to choose a new wife.He shops for a new wife every year.
Just last year the 56 year old king got married to the 21 year old daughter of an ex South African president.She became his 16th wife after participating in the topless dance.This man is living the life so many African men would die for, but his people and country are suffering in drowning in debt.People in Swatini struggle to find jobs in clean water, but the king is out here living like a billionaire.Protesting about this is not even an option because you won’t like what would be done to you if you’re still making a protest.But the truth is, it’s OK to live like a king, but leaders should care about their people too because power should come with kindness.
