RELATIVES of King Mswati III of Swaziland have threatened to bewitch 50 women who bared their buttocks at the King’s older brother, Prince Maguga Dlamini Maguga. The women were protesting against the King’s appointing Maguga, 64, as chief of Macetjeni outside Manzini, ousting two other chiefs and evicting their subjects. Maguga’s uncle, Ncutfu Mongomezulu, said the women’s buttocks had cast a spell on both the King and his brother and that the only way to cleanse them was to use an African root to remove the magic. The Appeals Court ruled this week that the eviction of the two chiefs was unlawful and that they be allowed to return. – African Eye News Service
