Swazi king to build new palaces for his wives
Mbabane - Swaziland’s King Mswati, 80 percent of whose subjects are landless peasants, has pushed through plans to build five new palaces for some of his 11 wives at a cost of more than R24-million – all of it out of public funds.

“Next month the project will start and the first royal residence will be built,” Roy Fanourakis, CEO of the King’s Office at Lozitha, Mswati’s principal palace, 30km east of Mbabane, told the Times Of Swaziland on Sunday.

I know the way this 'type' of government works. Mswati has murdered thousands of his citizens and probably many more than Saddam. Where is aWol's invasion and slaughter for justice?
