Swazi king reveals new bride to the nation

[dArKeR]

The 11th bride of Swaziland's King Mswati III was introduced to the public on Wednesday after a year of living behind royal walls.

Seventeen-year-old Noliqwa Ntentesa was chosen by Mswati to be his bride along with two others in September last year. She was however not introduced to the public as a result of a lawsuit at the time around the selection of his 10th bride.

Lindiwe Dlamini last year asked the High Court to force the royal family to release her 18-year-old daughter, Zena Zoraya Mahlangu, from a royal guest house.

Mahlangu and two young women were selected by King Mswati III's aides in September at the annual reed dance ceremony where future royal brides are chosen.
