According to the BBC, the monarch made the announcement at the dual celebration to mark his 50th birthday and the country's 50 years of independence.
The kingdom of Swaziland which will now be referred to as Eswatini is one of the world's last remaining absolute monarchies where the king rules by decree over his subjects.

Are these men or women? My God help us? That pedophile King can do whatever he likes with his kingdom, who cares! Let him marry all the young girls there. A couple of weeks ago one of her 13 wives (a young and beautiful teenager) who was under confinement in her mansion committed suicide. She would not be allowed to see anyone, not even to attend the funeral of her late relative. What type of slavery is this? This man is hiding under very primitive culture to abuse teenagers who should otherwise be in school. No wonder that so-called kingdom is backward. time will tell. He and his ***barred word*** and myopic kingmakers/advisers will one day be arrested for forcing young teenager girls into marriage. Am wondering why the world (including the AU and SADC) is silent over this blatant abuse of the human rights of these 'poor' girls!
