A Swazi Prince’s name is at the centre of an Internet scam designed to disparage the name of Swaziland’s King Mswati III.
A letter that claims to be written by Prince Mbisi Sobhuza, son of the late King Sobhuza II, and half brother to the present king, is circulating on the Internet. In it the prince tells how he was banished from the Swazi Royal Household after he criticised King Mswati III’s habit of selecting teenage virgins as his wife (the king is reported to have 13 wives) and also criticised the ‘extravagant’ way the king spends his money.
The letter gives a detailed account of the bust up between the prince and the king that forced Prince Mbisi into exile and how he escaped into Mauritius and eventually made his way to Thailand where he is presently in hiding.
The story is elegantly told and it had me going for a moment.
Then came the scam … It’s the usual one about a business opportunity and the need for a business partner … and please send your bank details…
I enjoyed reading the letter and if that’s your kind of thing to you can access it here, but please don’t send your bank details.
