King Mswati III has chosen a 17-year-old as his bride-to-be, picking a teen just weeks after retreating from a public campaign to encourage girls to wait until they are 18 to have sex, [which was was aimed at curbing the spread of HIV/Aids]. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4283932.stm
THAT'S what I call a U-turn.

Coltrane,
I feel so sad for that girl. Now I do not have to be a native of Swaziland to know that the king isn't right. I feel so sad for the young lady. She just don't know the hell she's about to catch being with that man, but then again, like always, he probably forced the girl into it. Supposedly , Swaziland has a high AIDS rate. I wouldn't be suprised that one of his brides may give him AIDS?

@Coltrane.....behave yourself, you know that age old practice of taking 1000000 wives has got to stop. Was it not you that once spoke of cultures evolving...polygamy is one practice that need to evolve. How many wives can the man handle ffs, surely he is not that much of a stud.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgollyyyyyyyyywtf
I see nothing wrong with his sexual "proclivities". There's simply nothing morally wrong with polygamy. It's just a cultural difference, an accident of history, that means polygamy is not practiced or generally approved of in the West.
As for his lifestyle, I think it is hypocritical in the extreme for rich Westerners to deplore rich Africans for living like rich people, merely because poor people exist. If the existence of poor people means that living like a rich person is wrong, then stop living like a rich person before you tell someone else to do so.
If there's something wrong with how King Mswati governs Swaziland, it would be better to diagnose the problem precisely, and offer constructive advice as to how to do better than to go on about irrelevancies concerning Mswati's private life.
