No woman wants to become the king's 14th

A young woman is seeking asylum in Britain, after she refused the king's request Msuati III of Swaziland to join his harem of 13 wives

Tintsualo Ngobeni, 22 years old, fled to England from the southern African country as teenagers, as he started to draw the attention of wealthy monarch, oppressive rulers known for luxurious style of life. As part of the customs of the country, Msuati King III is allowed each year to choose a new bride.

Terrified by the king

Ngobeni, who now lives in Birmingham, was only 15 years old when they began the temptations of the king in the house of his wife four named Langangaza. She said she was horrified when she realized his intentions for marriage. She added: "He began to invite me to private school. He asked me if I would like to become a member of the royal family. I have not been able to talk about my fears, but I knew that I did not want to get married to him and I have a life in which we need to commit king. kept his wives in their palaces, surrounded by bodyguards, but they really can not go anywhere without the permission of the king. The only thing they do is travel America once a year, when the king gives money to buy different things. " Ngobeni so was forced to give up her life in boarding well as her aunt, who was the main guardian, allowed the flight to England to join her mother, who had gone to Birmingham before five years after he had fled from her abusive husband. "I had no choice," she said. "No one has ever denied nor king dared to disobey him, so I left."

Refusal of the application for asylum

Since her arrival in England, Ngobeni has become an outspoken opponent of the oppressive regime of Swaziland, where political opposition parties are banned and activists are usually arrested or physically attacked. She said: "Recently I was informed that some people were sent from Swaziland to take me, which really scares me too. Whether return will be arrested or would find something even worse because there people are tortured, beaten or killed if they are active in politics. " Ngobeni now lives fearing that he would have to return to Swaziland, after its first request for political asylum in England in 2007 was rejected in 2011. Last month, she was arrested and sent to an immigration holding center after 18 months of weekly submission to the authorities. However, after pressure made by the Congress of Trade Unions and Roger Gadsifit office, Labour MP for Birmingham, Ngobeni has been released and it is given the right of appeal by the Foreign Ministry.
