MBABANE:King Mswati’s fifteen(15) wives might see him again after Incwala ritual ceremony next year.
The King left the country on Sunday for the World Food Forum in Italy, he will then proceed to Serbia for a State visit before attending the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa.
But his calendar suggests that, when he comes back from the international trip, he might host an End of Year Prayer Service and subsequently go into seclusion marking the commencement of the annual Incwala ritual ceremony that normally lasts towards the end of January.
After dispersing eMabutfo marking the end of Incwala towards the end of January 2025, the King might host the Beginning of the Year Prayer Service that “is normally held at the beginning of February”, he will then commence State duties starting with the official opening of Parliament.
This means after taking the international trip with his new wife Inkhosikati Nomcebo Zuma, the daughter to former South African President Jacob Zuma, some eMakhosikati, might see their husband after February 2025.
