“BARBARIC”OR BARGAIN DEAL?:  Trump’s deportation drama lands in Eswatini

By Zee: King Mswati III and Donald Trump ( Image: Facebook) Darling, when I said 2025 would be chaotic, I didn’t mean this level of chaos! While the rest of us were trying to figure out what to wear to the next “all-white with a touch of gold” soirée, Donald J.

By Sitha Maliwa: (Image: Facebook) In a twist worthy of royal legend, the gilded gates of Eswatini’s royal palace have been shaken by scandal, as Inkhosikati Nomcebo Zuma, the 22-year-old daughter of former South African president Jacob Zuma, has abandoned her marriage to King Mswati III, walking away from a life of opulence, tradition, and silence. Nomcebo, once paraded as the monarch’s most dazzling jewel during the Umhlanga Reed Dance, has reportedly fled the palace, citing emotional abandonment and disillusionment with the rigid expectations of polygamous royal life. Sources close to the palace allege she could no longer bear the king’s long absences, nor the reality of sharing a husband with over 14 other wives. In accordance with Eswatini custom, Nomcebo’s...
