Showing my ignorance, hope I got this in the correct part:
Posting because of the new players on the scene:
HE IS Africa's last absolute monarch - a man whose pursuit of lavish tastes as his people face food shortages and AIDS has made him no stranger to controversy. Now Swaziland's King Mswati III is at the centre of a new row after spending more than £250,000 on a luxury car.
I've got a soft spot for King Mswati III, because he forbade the ladies of Swaziland to wear pants. But that's just my personal perversion preference... |
King Mswati - one of some 300 children of the late King Sobhuza, who had 125 wives - paid more than 150 million emalangeni (£260,000) last week for the DaimlerChrysler Maybach 62, one of only four such vehicles sold in southern Africa. Its extras include a television, DVD player, 21-speaker surround sound system, refrigerator, cordless telephone, heated steering wheel, interior pollen and dust filter, golf club set and sterling silver champagne flutes. The other three vehicles were sold to three of South Africa's new breed of black business oligarchs, Cyril Ramaphosa, Tokyo Sexwale and Patrice Mosepe.

| Tokyo Sexwale? Somebody named his child TOKYO SEXWALE? Good Gawd! Is there no limit to the cruelty of some people? People should be required to have a license to have children, and one of the requirements should be an agreement not to name their children "Tokyo Sexwale" or any variant thereof. |
