The king of Swaziland sparked much controversy on Friday when he arrived at the opening of the small kingdom’s parliament, and then ordered his bodyguards to block photographers taking pictures of his new wheels.
Swaziland is one of Africa’s poorest countries and, according to the , most of its inhabitants live on less than six rand (one dollar) a day.
On Sunday, reported that the king was the first person in Africa to take delivery of the exclusive stretch limousine. The S600 Pullman is lavishly appointed with a state-of-the-art media system, providing a mobile office environment, and is equipped with a high-power rechargeable battery that enables the entire system to run for up to 30 minutes after the engine is switched off.
Besides his recent acquisition of a bespoke Maybach 62, costing about four million rand, King Mswati III also splashed out close to five million rands on 10 new BMWs for his wives.
