BUHLENI: His Majesty King Mswati  III has urged Swazis to be humble and work hard to reach first world status.

Speaking during the Buganu Ceremony at Buhleni Palace, the King said the women who prepared the Buganu were a good example of a first world status.

“First world means being humble and to work hard, this is exactly what you did when preparing the Buganu,” said the King.

Buganu is a traditional beer, the King normally summons women across the country for a drinking spree for a whole weekend.

It is alleged that the women once they are drunk, become exposed  and sexually abused by men including Mswati’s security officers.
