Oh man when we saw this headline we couldn’t stop laughing. Our
initial thought was that there were 10 wives, one for each BMW 7 Series, but unfortunately King Mswati III has 11 wives

highest AIDS rate in the world. Even the government is in serious financial trouble with mounting debt while a third of
the population relies on food aid for survival. Begin shaking your head now.
