King Mswati III of Swaziland has told his subjects that men
have lived on the moon.
He said he wanted Swazi people to be like them and also
visit the moon.
The
Observer on Saturday, a newspaper
in effect owned by the king, reported that he told an audience of admirers that
he had recently visited Houston, Texas.
The Observer
reported, ‘The challenge by the Ingwenyama [the king] which obviously
mesmerised the audience was premised by the fact that a lot of American
citizens, especially those living in Houston, Texas have visited the moon and
he said he found this unique.
‘“These Americans have something that we don’t have. I
was told when I visited that place that some of their citizens have travelled
to the moon and stayed there for about six to eight months.
‘“This is seriously fascinating and surely I would like
to see Swazis visiting the moon one day,” said the King to a loud salute of
Bayethe [Hail to the King] as the audience appreciated his sentiments,’ the
newspaper reported.
