The news of the sex scandal involving one of the wives of King Mswati III and a married Swazi cabinet minister has been reported around the world – but still in Swaziland the media are pretending it never happened.
But the Swazi people have access to newspapers in neighbouring South Africa that are covering the scandal, and also to the Internet where news organisations, bloggers, Tweeters and Facebookers across the globe have been reading about the ‘alleged’ liaison between Nothando Dube (also known as Inkhosikati LaDube), the king’s 12th wife and Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister, Ndumiso Mamba.
What of the other 14? If I were a betting man (which I’m not) I’d put my shirt on them being about the amorous couple.
Other newspaper websites across the world have not been so reticent about publishing readers’ comments. Readers of the Daily Mail in the UK are having a laugh at the expense of King Mswati. ‘TWELFTH wife? Surely he can spare one’ just about sums up the mood.
