King Goodwill Zwelithini and his sixth wife Swaziland Princess Zola Mafu
King Zwelithini, 66, married Queen Zola Mafu, 28, in a traditional ceremony on Saturday which was attended by more than 10,000 guests, including President Jacob Zuma and ANC stalwart Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
More than 60 cows and scores of sheep were slaughtered for the occasion.
Mafu was selected as the king's bride at the age of 18 while participating in the 2003 Swazi reed dance, according to the newspaper. More pics after cut...
At the time, she was a pupil at St Mark's High School in Mbabane, Swaziland.
Zwelithini had paid lobola of 20 cattle for Mafu, which was nine more than required, eight years ago. Congratulations King Zwelithini and Queen Zola.
