Swaziland Part I

A true African Kingdom 

Swaziland has had its independence from Britain since 1968, one year after Botswana. The difference between these two independent countries is that Swaziland is ruled by a king not a president. The kingdom is still governed by traditional practices and customs. The king may have more than one wife, as the current king has 14-16 wives and 34children. His father Shingov II had 75 wives and nearly 300 children. Here are some pics of our stay here. I will upload the most informative one.
