{UAH} MSWATI NEEDS HELP DELIVERING THE OBLIGATORY

 
Three of King Mswati`s 13 wives arrive for the traditional Reed Dance at Ludzidzini, the royal palace in Swaziland August 31, 2008. Walking through the dense crowds in a leopard skin loin cloth, Sub-Saharan Africa`s last absolute monarch was expected to choose his 14th wife. Critics say Mswati, who has courted controversy for his lavish lifestyle while two thirds of his subjects live in poverty, sets a bad example by encouraging polygamy and teenage sex in a country where about 40 percent of adults live with HIV.
