Married at 18, stayed alone: King Mswati’s eighth wife who allegedly committed suicide

The eighth wife of Swaziland’s King Mswati III has died reportedly from drug overdose. Senteni Masango – known as Inkhosikati LaMasango – was found dead on Friday morning according to South African press Mpumalanga.


The late queen’s funeral service will be conducted at the Ludzidzini Royal Kraal. She was laid to rest on Sunday as per the dictates of Royal Swazi Rites.
She lives behind two children.
Senteni, known to be a good painter auctioning her paintings to raise funds for charities in Swaziland, is said to have overdosed herself with about 40 capsules of amitriptyline- a drug commonly used to treat mental illnesses.
Her death comes barely a week after the burial of her sister. It is alleged that the King stopped her from attending neither her sister’s memorial service nor her funeral.
Senteni is said to have lived alone in a big mansion for over three years without a visit from the King.
She married King Mswati III in 2000 as his 8th wife. She was 18 and reports claimed she was a high school dropout prior to her marriage.


King Mswati III selected Senteni in 1999 during the annual Royal Reed Dance ceremony where he customarily selects a new wife from the thousands of bare-breasted maidens who dance for him.
The King picks his bride in the week long annual traditional event also known as Umhlanga Annual Reed Dance. The reed dance is a public holiday in Swaziland where tens of thousands of prospective virgin females present newly cut reeds to the Queen Mother to protect her residence.
The dance is held at the Ludzidzini Royal Village where the girls, after undergoing a virginity test, disperse to surrounding areas to cut the tall reeds.
During the ceremony, led by Swazi princesses, the girls dance, chant and colourfully celebrate in an event witnessed by locals, royalty and tourists alike.
King Mswati III , now 49, rose to power at the tender age of 14 after his father, King Sobhuza II died.

The 4 Steps to Giving Her Multiple Orgasms

Giving a woman just  one  orgasm is cause for celebration. But any woman who can climax once can probably cross the finish line again—and again. The ability to come more than once is biological gift exclusive to the fairer sex. A man has to wait for your refractory period to pass before they're ready for round two, but women don’t seem to need the same reloading phase, says  Men’s Health  sex advisor Debby Herbenick, Ph.D. A woman could experience her second wave of pleasure less than a minute after the first. But just because she  can  come twice doesn’t mean she will. Studies suggest that somewhere between 14 and 40 percent of women have had multiple orgasms in one session. How do you help her become one of the lucky ones? First, make sure that’s what she wants. Some women would rather cuddle after climaxing than be pressured into an encore. Next, remember that women differ dramatically in regard to how they can achieve one orgasm, l...

5 Text Common Mistakes Men Make

There are DOs and DON’Ts for every set of activity, and texting is not an exception…especially when it involves the girl you fancy. You must know what to say as well as what not to say, otherwise, you end up blowing your chances. For the purpose of this article though, we’ll focus only on the DON’Ts of texting. Read up and enjoy. 1. CONFESSING YOUR FEELINGS OVER A CHAT Sometimes, as a guy, you have these bottled-up feelings, and you just wanna let it all out because you feel that maybe if she knew how much you like her, she might wanna be your girl, but this move is WRONG half the time. The moment you express your feelings to a girl via a text or a chat, you reveal your cards, and leave her nothing to work for, and the less she has to work for you, the more bored she’s likely to become. Women like it when there’s some mystery around a guy. It’s more interesting for them when they don’t know if you’re into them or not. Rushing to let your emotions known kills that mystery and ...
