Salih Yakob tewas kepada King Sobhuza II dari Swaziland



Salih Yakob sememangnya hebat sebab dia mempunyai 4 isteri dan keempat empat isterinya hidup rukun dan aman damai, tanpa ada perselisihan dan pergaduhan. Rumah tangga Salih Yakob harmoni dan ini menjadikannya antara ikon Lelaki Sejati di Malaysia.

Namun, kehebatan Salih Yakob sebenarnya belum dapat menandingi kehebatan Raja Sobhuza II yang menjadi Raja Swaziland sejak 1921 hingga 1982.Raja Sobhuza II mempunyai 70 isteri, 400 anak dan 1,000 cucu...!!!!












Sudah menjadi tradisi di Swaziland, negara di Selatan Afrika berhampiran Afrika Selatan di mana rajanya mempunyai ramai isteri.

King Sobhuza II dilahirkan pada 1899 dan meninggal dunia pada 1982 ketika usianya 82 tahun.


Kini anaknya King Mswati III menjadi raja Swaziland. King Msawti dilaporkan mempunyai 14 isteri dan 24 anak!!!

Apapun, King Sobhuza II masih tidak dapat menandingi raja segala raja iaitu King Solomon yang dilaporkan mempunyai 700 isteri dan 300 gundik, menjadikan keseluruhannya 1,000 teman tidur kepada Baginda.








3 Gambar di atas adalah lakaran wajah King Solomon yang hidup lebih 2,000 tahun lalu.

Namun tidak diketahui berapa bilangan anak King Solomon yang sebenar. Apapun jika setiap isteri melahirkan 1 anak, maka dia mempunyai sekurang kurangnya 700 anak!!!! Hebat..

King Solomon lahir di Jerusalem pada tahun 1011 sebelum Masehi dan meninggal dunia pada tahun 931 sebelum Masehi ketika berusia 80 tahun.

Anaknya Rehoboam dari isterinya dikenali Naamah, menggantikan Solomon sebagai Raja.

Berbeza dengan Solomon, Rehoboam hanya mempunyai 18 isteri dan 60 gundik serta 88 anak.

Selepas King Rehoboam meninggal dunia pada tahun 915 sebelum Masehi, dia digantikan sebagai raja oleh anaknya Abijah.

King Abijah mempunyai 14 isteri dan 38 anak.

King Abijah meninggal dunia pada tahun 912 sebelum Masehi dan digantikan dengan anaknya, Asa.

Jumlah isteri dan anak Asa tidak diketahui.

Asa meninggal dunia antara 873 hingga 869 Masehi dan digantikan sebagai Raja oleh anaknya Jehoshaphat.

Demikian lah kisahnya. Terima kasih kerana membaca.

The Queens of Swaziland

King Mswati III

Normally in a country where the monarchy system is still in existence, you will have only one King and one Queen... at most 2 or 3 Queens..

But in Swaziland, it has been a traditions for the King to have more than 10 wives or Queens!!

So, no country in the world can beat that statistic!!!

Perhaps only the founder of Playboy Magazine - Hugh Hefner is undisputed in that aspect!!

What makes the King of Swaziland so good in sexual prowess ??????

What types of food he consumed to have that kind of stamina and libido to sleep with so many wives every night???

Mswati III (born Makhosetive on April 19, 1968) is currently the king of Swaziland, and head of the Swazi Royal Family.

He succeeded his father, Sobhuza II, in 1986 as absolute monarch; and in 2005, his role was modified only slightly as a constitutional monarch in the small southern African state.

Currently, he has 14 wives and 23 children!!

He is one of many sons of King Sobhuza II (who had 70 wives and at the time of his death left over 1,000 grandchildren) and the only child of Ntombi Tfwala, also known as Inkhosikati.

King Mswati III was once critized for his lavish and extravagant lifestyles that contrasts sharply with his country's widespread poverty.

It was reported that each of King Mswati III brides has been given a retinue, a palace and a new BMW.

In the government’s latest budget, about $30 million was set aside for “royal emoluments.”

But the king’s income is generally believed to exceed that. The royal family also controls a corporate business empire “in trust for the nation,” investing in sugar cane, commercial property and a newspaper.

Forbes.com, which is fond of ranking the rich elite, recently listed Mswati III as the world’s 15th wealthiest monarch, estimating his fortune at $200 million.




Village scene in Swaziland

Swazis have enjoyed decades of peace and are rightfully proud of their culture. But poverty has entrapped two-thirds of the people, leaving hundreds of thousands of them malnourished. And these days death casually sweeps away even the strong.


A market in Swaziland

The country has one of the worst rates of H.I.V.. infection in the world. Life expectancy has fallen from 60 years in 1997 to barely half that now. Nearly a third of all children have lost a parent.

Hail to the King of Swaziland...!!
