Rolls-driving royal with 14 wives gets a raise, Swaziland erupts
King Mswati III has a Rolls Royce, 13 palaces and 14 wives, and just received a pay increase, even as a cash crisis forced Swaziland to slash spending, feeding anger against his regime.

The government has frozen state wages and imposed higher taxes to fight the country's worst-ever fiscal crisis. Thousands of Swazis marched on the prime minister's office on Friday to demand the resignation of the government.

Swaziland is in the grip of a serious financial crisis and civil servants fear they will not be paid this month after Africa's last absolute monarchy suffered a huge drop in income from the Southern African Customs Union.
