The polygamous king of Swaziland has fired his justice minister after the politician was caught red-handed having an affair with one of the king’s 14 wives. King Mswati III acted after pictures emerged of his minister Ndumiso Mamba hiding in the base of his adulterous wife’s bed.
The astonishing images show security officials standing around the upturned bed looking down at the forlorn minister.
Rumours that King Mswati III's twelfth wife, 22-year-old Nothando Dube – a former Miss Teen Swaziland – had been having an affair have circulated inside the country for weeks.
While local media are banned from reporting the scandal, it was widely rumoured that Mrs Dube liked to disguise herself as a soldier in order to sneak out of the royal palace and meet her lover undetected.
The 42-year-old monarch of the small African stateis an enthusiastic practitioner of the tribal tradition of polygamy.

wife #12 got bored and restless? what a surprise
The king, 42, chooses a new bride each year at a traditional dance where unmarried girls are paraded in front of him.
How quaint...
Thank God the King did not find out about the other 13!
Well, I guess its progress that the king didn’t behead him.
I’d hit it!
Diversity is our strength. All cultures are equal (actually superior to Western Christian culture). Do I really need the sarc/?
She looks like she’s never been proud of her country before.
Apparently he didn’t believe in spreading his wealth.
Recall the old Klinton joke?
Klinton gets off the plane in Africa. A young, pretty, and topless African girl walks up to him and presents him with a bouquet of flowers. Klinton says,”Zulu?” She says,”No, Ubangi.” Klinton says,”Not now, wait until after the ceremony is over.”
I wouldn’t....
Are you sure that is a picture of a female?
Sounds like a plan to me.;)
Elder Delbert L. Stapley of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
"I would emphasize that the teachings of Christ that we should become perfect were not mere rhetoric.
He meant literally that it is the right of mankind to become like the Father and like the Son, having overcome human weaknesses and developed attributes of divinity."
I’m holdin’, I’m holdin’.
Just imagine brother Smith in Swaziland. What a time he would have had. And our dear brethren would have gotten the priesthood much sooner.
Just imagine!
