Swaziland

So here we are in Swaziland.

 

The kingdom of Swaziland is one of the world's last remaining absolute monarchies. The current ruler is King Mswati III who was crowned in 1986 at the age of 18, succeeding his long-serving father King Sobhuza II, who died at the age of 82. He has been criticised for the heavy-handed treatment of opponents and for requesting public money to pay for new palaces and luxury cars. He also has a number of wives to support….

 

The country’s climate and topography are diverse, ranging from a cool and mountainous highveld to a hot and dry lowveld.
