IT PAYS BIGTIME TO BE A RULER IN IMPOVERISHED AFRICA

King of Swaziland is accused of 'showing the middle finger' to country's impoverished population by spending $18million on 19 Rolls-Royces and dozens of BMWs for his 14 wives

King Mswati III has imported 19 Rolls-Royces and as many as 120 BMWs into Swaziland, some of which were seen being shipped from South Africa earlier this month.

Witnesses spotted BMW X3 and 5-Series models, which cost more than £30,000 each, under wraps on the back of a truck as they were delivered.

The average salary in Swaziland is estimated to be only £10,000 a year - meaning a typical worker would have to toil for decades to afford a Rolls-Royce - and the lavish spending has sparked outrage in the country.
