AN unpopular Swazi chief has narrowly escaped the ultimate insult from about 50 angry women, who threatened to take their clothes off and flash their buttocks at him. The women, aged between 30 and 50, gathered outside Chief Maguga Dlamini’s house last week in preparation for their unique protest. In Swazi culture it is considered bad luck when an elderly woman shows you her buttocks. The women were protesting the appointment of Maguga as chief of Macetjeni and KaMkhweli in central Swaziland, after the two incumbent chiefs were forcibly evicted in early October. – African Eye News Service
