    Queens jet off to Vegas while Swazis starve

    It was reported that the wives would be part of a royal delegation of 66 people flying per chartered jet to the US gambling capital.

The delegation was apparently booked into 10 separate villas, each costing R20 000 a night. Money for the trip was to come from a national fund. Swaziland is currently in the grip of a national civil servant strike.  A trade union spokesperson also slammed the country’s royal family saying the trip was an unnecessary indulgence at a time when the country was battling poverty and unemployment
