The rising tensions, protests and calls for democratic reforms in Eswatini, a country formerly and still commonly known as Swaziland, has led to the death of over 70 and arrest of two pro-democracy MPs even as their leader King Mswati III shows no willingness to respond to the demands of his people.
The lavish lifestyle of King Mswati III of eSwatini and his royal household is believed by many to stand in sharp contrast with the nation he governed, where more than 60 per cent of the population reportedly live in poverty.
Eswatini came into limelight in 2019 when King Mswati III, who has ruled eSwatini since 1986, reportedly spent a whopping US $24.4 million to purchase 19 Rolls Royce ultra-luxury sedans for his 15 queens.
