Mbabane - Swaziland's King Mswati III, in a tizz at reports that one of his wives has taken a South African lover, stomped out of his own birthday party.
Hordes of policemen were sent scurrying to buy up copies of SA's Sunday Times, which carried allegations - and revealing photographs - of fifth wife Inkhosikati LaMagwaza (30).
Copies of the newspaper were sold out by midday.
The report quoted claims by Soweto man Lizo Shabangu (23) that he had an affair with her, which she ended after he wanted her to elope with him.
Shabangu was quoted as saying: "I spent a whole week-and-a-half in her room ... where we would wear nothing, and we showered together ... ate strawberries and yoghurt off each other."
He claimed that they had sex six times a day.
A source at Mswati's Lozitha Palace said the king had been briefed on the report and the pictures after a dinner to mark his 35th birthday at the Royal Swazi Sun hotel. "He become upset and drove home with his bodyguard."
"The traditional authorities, mainly made up of his elder brothers, are handling the matter," the source said. "The pictures do not lie, so the king will certainly not want anything to do with her."
LaMagwaza has denied having an affair. - Independent Foreign Service
