King Mswati III of Swaziland has taken another wife. During the recent Umhlanga Annual Reed Dance, King Mswati III chose 19 year-old Siphele Mashwama as his 14th wife.

King Mswati III took his 14th wife after this year's Reed Dance Festival. Siphele Mashwama, a 19 year-old girl and the daughter of Swaziland Cabinet minister Jabulile Mashwama, is Mswati's 14th wife.

Mswati (49) usually picks his wives during the Umhlanga annual reed dance. Most of the girls he picks are in their late teens. Despite banning divorce in his kingdom, King Mswati has separated from three of his wives.

Siphelele received red feathers known as emagwalagwala, a bird associated with the royal family during the reed dance. She graduated from Waterford Kamhlaba World University College. King Mswati III recently attended the United Nations General Assembly with his new wife. Full story...
