Scandal as 12th wife of Swaziland king is ‘caught with married lover’

Under house arrest: Mswati Nothando Dube

The 12th wife of the king of Swaziland is under house arrest after she was allegedly caught in a sting with her lover.
Former Miss Teen beauty contestant Mswati Nothando Dube was reportedly discovered in the arms of the country’s Justice Minister by police at a hotel in the town of Mbabane.
The 22-year-old has been placed under surveillance at her mother-in-law’s home while her alleged lover, married Ndumiso Mamba is in jail on the king’s orders, The Independent reported.

King Mswati III is currently away on a state visit to Taiwan.
His mother, who shares his power, is known as the Indlovukazi, or Great She-Elephant, and has sent a delegation to Mamba’s village to lay charges of ‘trespassing’ into her son’s home.
Mamba is know to have been a close friend of the king and could face the death sentence if the charges are proven.
Dube became involved with the king at the age of 16 when she took part in the annual Reed Dance, which features tens of thousands of topless Swazi virgins performing for the monarch.
The mother-of-two could be banished from the kingdom if the charges are proven.
