Hundreds of Swazi women have marched through the streets of the capital to protest about a shopping trip taken by nine of the king's 13 wives. They chartered a plane last week to go to Europe and the Middle East. The BBC's Thulani Mthethwa says the protesters handed in a petition to the finance ministry saying the money could have been better spent. "We can't afford a shopping trip when a quarter of the nation lives on food aid," they chanted. Swaziland, Africa's last absolute monarchy, is one of the poorest countries in the world and more than 40% of the population is believed to be infected with HIV. The march was organised by Positive Living, a non-governmental organisation for women with Aids. Our correspondent says there was a cross-section of women on the march from professionals to rural representatives. "We need to keep that money for ARVs [anti-retrovirals]," was another slogan shouted by the women. King Mswati III, 40, has been criticised in the past for requesting public money to pay for new palaces, a personal jet and luxury cars. News of his wives' trip broke in the local press a day after they left, our reporter says. Earlier this week, senior princes warned the women not to march, saying it defied Swazi tradition. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7574824.stm

lol! Life don spoil!! This is kind of gross, a 79 yr old man, c'mon! His time is over na. For the info that I know, our king of our village is my grandpa's brother. So the only money he uses (that I know of) is to ask my elder aunt to arrange a trip to America. This boring convention is made, where Ekitis in USA are suppose to come and greet him. All in all, atleast he does not waste our money sha. The man is smart, if I tell you sef, how rampant juju is there |

Ruby_Pearl: Juju is as common in nigeria as hamburgers are in America. Every area of Naija has juju That's why I laugh when some idiots come here and call igbos ritualists. |
