In Eswatini, no king can appoint his successor. Instead, an independent special traditional Council called the Liqoqo decides which of the wives shall be "Great Wife" and "Indlovukazi" (She-Elephant / Queen Mother). The son of this "Great Wife" will automatically become the next king. A royal fiancée is called liphovela, or "bride". They graduate from being fiancées to full wives as soon as they fall pregnant, when the king customarily marries them. However, the traditional marriage, known as “Ludvendve” (marriage to the king) only follows later.

  • Die Thronfolge in Eswatini bringt den König von Eswatini in Abstammungslinie von Dlamini III. hervor. Die Thronfolge wird durch den Königsrat (englisch Royal Council) nach mehreren Grundbedingungen bestimmt. Es muss sich um den einzigen männlichen Nachkommen der Königinmutter handeln. Zudem muss der König aus dem Haus Dlamini stammen, die Königinmutter darf nicht aus Abstammungslinie der Dlamini stammen. Der König führt stets den offiziellen Namen als Nkosi Dlamini, wobei Nkosi König bedeutet und Dlamini der Familienname ist. Die absolute Staatsmacht in Eswatini geht stets vom König als Ngwenyama (deutsch Löwe) und der Königinmutter als Ndlovukazi (deutsch Elefantin) aus. Es wird gemäß königlicher Tradition erwartet, dass der König mehrere Frauen aus allen Volksgruppen zur Wahrung der nationalen Einheit heiratet. Beim traditionellen Schilfrohrtanz tanzen jedes Jahr zehntausende junge Frauen barbusig vor dem König, der sich dabei eine weitere Ehefrau aussuchen kann. (de)
  • In Eswatini, no king can appoint his successor. Instead, an independent special traditional Council called the Liqoqo decides which of the wives shall be "Great Wife" and "Indlovukazi" (She-Elephant / Queen Mother). The son of this "Great Wife" will automatically become the next king. The "Great Wife" is chosen after the death of the king and must be of good character. Her character affects her child's chances of ascending to the status of king. According to Swazi culture, a son cannot be the heir if his mother is not of good standing. She must not bear the maiden name of Nkhosi-Dlamini as Dlamini is the name of the Royal House of Eswatini and she must not be a ritual wife (see next paragraph). The king currently has 11 wives, (2 have permanently left him and 2 are deceased) 36 children and 11 grandchildren. A Swazi king's first two wives are chosen for him by the national councillors. These two have special functions in rituals and their sons can never become kings. The first wife must be a member of the Matsebula clan, the second of the Motsa clan. These wives are known as tesulamsiti. A royal fiancée is called liphovela, or "bride". They graduate from being fiancées to full wives as soon as they fall pregnant, when the king customarily marries them. However, the traditional marriage, known as “Ludvendve” (marriage to the king) only follows later. In traditional Swazi culture, the king is expected to marry a woman from every clan in order to cement relationships with each part of Eswatini. This means that the king must have many wives.(This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.) * Inkhosikati (Queen) laMatsebula —Ritual wife.

Il sovrano attuale, Mswati III di eSwatini, ha 14 mogli e 23 figli. Le prime due sono mogli rituali, e per questo i loro figli sono esclusi dalla successione. La prima moglie deve essere un membro del clan Matsebula, la seconda del clan Motsa. Secondo la tradizione, il re si può sposare solo dopo che la candidata moglie sia incinta, dimostrando così che può avere figli. (it)
