Well, no offense but though don't support polygamy; however, polygamy is more natural than homosexuality even in the animal kingdom. Homosexuality is a freak of nature and has never been natural nor would it ever be, regardless of how anyone wants to paint it. Homosexuality calls for the extinction of the human race and it is wicked. Humans should multiply and replenish the earth, which is meant to be inhabited, and not let it go stagnant with homosexuality.
You talking nonsense am from Swaziland a Swazi citizen this is not a culture it cult were young women are being raped, slaughtered for sacrifice to empower themselves
Look at this fool he is a king, he can do as he wants,, culture is culture you fool. This why we lost a continent,, do know what's like 4 a king to give a one cow
@wanjirusep .True, but none of them criminalise the human body. No African culture ever considers the human body shameful. These are notions introduced by foreign religions, and have no rational basis, within African culture. The Kikuyu culture for example, does not consider any part of the human body shameful.
Selling OnlyFans content for $5/month to total strangers is empowerment but dancing bare-chested before the King so he can chose you to become a queen is backward... Modern morality right there, people!
@Nzambi - Listen, nobody says onlyfans is empowering except disgusting perverts. What your king does is also perversion to these young women by brainwashing them by culture to exploit them for sexual pleasure. If telling the truth is an insult, you are an insult to truth itself with my due respect to you.
A lot of African cultures do not sexualise nudity, so for the women being bare chested is not shameful. Personally, I think Western culture is creepy for hyper-sexualising nudity in the first place.
This is 21st century for goodness sake. Some of these cultures has to go. Even the under age marriage. And dancing bare chest is outdated culture. In the past when these cultures are being practices there was no camera. But today this kind of images can end in p*rn sites. SHAME!!!!

You are delusional if you think that marrying the 16th wife is not absurd considering the poverty in Africa. What does he need a 16th wife young enough to be his daughter for?
@wapigochris2027 - For now, you be satisfied with an individual condemnation of it. If I ran the media, I would have granted your request to condemn both homosexuality and polygamy.
She is 21 YO. She is not forced to marry that king. Her family is equally powerful and can very well refuse the marriage if they so desire. Yes, its weird to say the least and immoral but we cannot use our yard stick in measuring their culture. If Swazilanders find this tradition unfair and finally found it offensive, they will find away to stop it.
@@dyawr We do not support your homosexuality. We do not agree with incest which is legal in European countries from Spain to Holland; we do not agree with the bestiality that is legal everywhere in India, by which you had the likes of Selva Kumar and Mangli Munda
This is the problem with Media these days, instead of reporting facts they have to sprinkle in opinions and conjecture on topics they know nothing about. I’m a Swazi and this is an annual reed dance ceremony. We don’t expect you to understand because we are a culture that doesn’t sexualize women in their traditional attires. I’m not a traditionalist even in my country, I was raised in a Christian household but the fact that Indians will tell us what and what not to do is laughable at best. We have problems yes, is the king corrupt? Absolutely. Do people want political change? I believe so strongly. But the idea that every culture has to be westernized is appalling. Have some respect. 🇸🇿❤️
They have no problem with a 8 year old realizing she's sexually attracted to girls. This is an imperialist mindset that led White people in the past to invade other countries and commit the brutality they did, in the name of enlightening them.
@@sheilagawande5834 Some screwed up tradition…these people are clapping a 60 year old marrying a 18 year old and making her 16th wife. What king of message is the “King” sending?
As a Swazi, I understand that our traditions and cultural practices are deeply rooted and hold significant meaning for us. The marriage between King Mswati III and Nomcebo Zuma, the daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, is indeed a reflection of our cultural heritage. In Eswatini, the Reed Dance, or Umhlanga, is a traditional ceremony that celebrates womanhood and chastity. It is a significant cultural event where young women perform in front of the royal family, and it is during this event that the king may choose a bride. This practice is part of our long-standing traditions and is respected by many within our community. While some may view these customs through a different lens, it is important to recognize that cultural practices vary widely around the world. What may seem unusual or controversial to some is a cherished tradition to others. Our culture and traditions are an integral part of our identity and history. However, it is also essential to acknowledge that traditions can evolve over time. Discussions about how cultural practices align with modern values and human rights are important. It is possible to honor and preserve our cultural heritage while also considering the well-being and rights of all individuals involved. In summary, while the marriage of King Mswati III and Nomcebo Zuma may be seen differently by various people, it is a part of our cultural fabric. Respecting and understanding cultural differences is crucial in fostering mutual respect and appreciation.

@@sheilagawande5834 Your problem or his problem? How does the culture of Swaziland concern you? How is it your business? Why don't you worry about your own life?
People will show respect when you EARN respect. It cannot be demanded - it is earnt. 400 Billion dollars have been given to Africa and there is nothing to show for it. Countries have tried to do business with you but your politicans strip all the money aways into their own coffers. When you sort them out then you may earn respect but that will take a long time. We have all had to go through the process of building a decent, law abiding civic society and it's worth doing but there will be many disappointments and hard trials along the way. We took a long time to establish a workable society but it can be done.
@ladybug591 I believe the proper word is Earned,not "earnt".And 400 billion dollars were given to Africa while 10× that amount in resources was taken from Africa. But I don't blame you colonizers,I blame african men for their cowardice.
Their kings used to have extra women too before they were colonized , now they’re talking like their colonizers. Clearly this woman is an indication of how broken India have become as a society. The cancer of the colonizers have completely rotted their consciousness.
@@Zero-hl2zy This man understands that we have more women than men in the world and every woman needs to be serviced by a man ,not by fellow woman or dildos. Don't lecture us about polygamy.
I am African, and I say that kind of culture is disgusting. He should be ashamed of 40 percent of his population being poor and HIV positive He should be ashamed of taking a wife under 18.
In India you have practices that might seem weird to a lot of people like how you treat cows like "GODS" respect other people's traditional practices, you didn't even have the decency to call one woman from the Swati nation to express what their feelings towards these practices mean to them. Am not from Eswatini but i believe we need to respect each other and not Westernize everything you guys have no problem with the LGBTQ+ but what to cast judgments on other people's traditions.
Don't mind them even her brother can her daughter in the name of wealth should not go to another family.This is the reason a lot of ladies in India commit suicide
As an Indian, I say that we should respect all cultures. That is African culture, their traditions, we have no business what they do. We don't want to become USA, who pokes their nose in all cultures and tries to impose themselves upon others.
The way Africans roasted Palki for making this video and disrespecting African culture is a eye opener. I really really appreciate all the comments for defend your culture and standing by it. Others do not have any business in this, societies with thousands of years of history has lot of cultural things . . . We Hindus worship cows, even monkeys, entire nature. What problem in that. Love and respect to Africans, all the way from Bangalore, India.
So, Palki mam, you will decide what is right or wrong. You will decide how culture will be displayed. You are self appointed Chief Justice of ICJ where!
Miss Sharma respect our traditions as we respect your Indian culture...stop naming and Shaming our culture we are proud we love it and yes we are not western... Hope u can read between the lines
she did not say any thing wrong, it may be part of you culture but things should change according to time. Abducting a girl and marry her forcefully can't be a culture to be proud.
Making young girls dance naked so they can be picked up based on their body parts…. Hmmm. Is that your culture? I doubt it. Just think about what you are saying.
Hi Palki, please refrain from criticizing others' cultures and customs. If someone were to criticize Hinduism or Buddhism for their belief in multiple gods, it would likely upset you. It's important to show respect for each person's cultural practices.
That is not cultural practice bro that is lust of kings coming through generations to generations? Those tribal heads & kings did nothing expect fucking women's & enjoyed food than punishing poor people for the sake of pride/ power etc Those brainless kings are real destroyers of Africa ? People also follow them if son of african king born abnormal thay will worship him ... I challenge you ask King of estowini he doesn't even know about computer AI etc ? Does he
Dude, it is important to speak out on blatantly immoral spectacle. Only thing here is the girl though young was willing to get married to a 60 year old, hopefully she was not pressurized.
Lol who said hindus worship multiple gods ? We don't worship gods as they are practiced by abrahmic faiths . God in Hinduism is not somewhere else sitting in heaven, he is within us ,his creations we attain him through self-realization and practices such as yoga (there are 4 kinds of yoga ) and meditation. Because he is formless yet in his creations, we worship his different forms to attain him .
Atleast our god has a name & face, you neither know your god name nor his face. You guys have no ground to criticize our religion Edit: ( idk why my reply isn't showing to the below jack fryer person? So I'm writing it again here, idk it will show or not) ask someone belonging to that r@ce who follows C0lonial culture & col0nial religion. They all are orphaned children, don't know their own god name but dare to question others Ask your g0d why he feels shy showing his face? Why need a m€ssenger if he is that powerful? He doesn't even have any name. We can see our g0d & feel too unlike your shy god If u r African. It's better to learn to take constructive criticism for Africa to grow, a king is ideal person for the masses, & him marrying 16th wife even though his 40% citizens are HIV positive is pure "inc0mpetency". A middle east royal m@rrying 16 th wife even 20th wife was still ok , coz their citizens are healthy, wealthy & happy. I guess that's why African history is so much of sl@ vry , coz nobody wants to take criticism nor upgrade themselves! Good luck Africa A person of Big ego with an empty pocket ends up in misery 🙏
Who told Africa is a culture?😂 You are not complaining because you are not a Mswazi. There were civilian unrest for two years to abolish this nonsense. Just because you are a Rwandan whose daughter is not picked at a parade doesn't make it right. Use common sense.
Did you see the smiles on the girls faces? Being bare chested isn't nudity nor harassment. It's called culture and traditions. Who are you to dictate what we should and shouldn't do?
...I can forgive a person who is not Swazi and jus accepted an outsiders view of matters here. The wives were not forced into marrying the king so no rights have been violated
There is no shame, just leave them alone. In our African culture it says it's shameful for a woman to pay bride price to a man's family, but they do that in India. So in terms of optics, better you say you don't understand the culture than imprint your opinion as unacceptable.
@@kalalakapay atleast Indians don't have women dancing bare chested for a "king:". Don't your women have a self-esteem? Poor people may not even know the meaning of that word.

I am African. This is NOT typical African "culture". It is the tradition of the e Swatini King. If Zuma's daughter determined that with all the privilege she was born with, becoming the 16th wife of the eSwatini King, is the best option for her? We can disagree but it her choice.
You cannot call something Absurd and Ridiculous just because you do not understand it, and it is someone else's culture. You should study more to understand that Africa is second largest continent with many many many countries in it, with so many different ethnicities and cultures from North, to South, to Central, West, East of Africa etc. How dare you sit up like a journalist and say this is "African culture", without specifying the country? Do you realize even in a country there are many religions that influence cultural practices? Even India has various religions. This is VERY bad journalism.
She is an agent against Africa and I have lost respect for her a long time ago. In India, I have seen a woman breastfeeding cow. She should go and report that.
I'm an African. And I must say this is shameful. I'm not condemning those whose culture allow polygamy. However, culture can be abused, and this is a great example.
Your 'African' opinion is irrelevant to what they do in Eswatini. Respect their culture. I'm sure your westernised head doesn't find it 'shameful' that nude beaches exist, or that thousands of white women in bikinis are on a beach as men eye them up, JUST like that king. Get rid of your colonial mentality and respect the cultures of your continent if you really are an African.
This is never an African culture,I am an African myself,this is a real African man ,greedy, selfish and using women to satisfy his lustful and uncontrollable self,very shameful,I wish some African women will start using this same African Gods to start cursing such men for us to confirm it is an African culture indeed.
Reed dance is performed by virgins, it's also tradition of the Zulu tribe, polygamy is part of our African culture. But I feel the world has changed some people are starting to exploit our culture in a negative way.
So amazing that people who are not part of the culture call it demeaning. Yet the people who are a part of the culture are proud of it. You see just one small aspect thete is so much more in this. I am a South African Zulu female. Educated and I participated in a similar culture when I was in my youth. Tought me self love, self confidence and it grounded me to my identity. I would do it all over again. Please stay off our culture we don't say anything about your 101 gods
You're talking shift. You know nothing about Africa and our culture. Remember we Africans don't have to believe I what you white Northern hemisphere people believe in. We don't believe in everything you practice... and voetzek.
It is not African culture,this is a lustful man that cannot control himself using women as sex tools,as an African,I feel very shameful indeed,what a curse people of a continent.
Some of us Africans do not want what is right. Indeed the western nations accepted homosexuality of which I myself condemned. I’m an African too, and I think Africa will be much better if we forbid both polygamy and homosexuality. So why some of us Africans in this comment section embrace polygamy that made about 40% of Eswatini’s population catch HIV all in the name comparing ourselves to western homosexuality. If we, Africans say we’re better than them, then we should condemn both act
Did you do HIV test for Eswatini people for to justify that. You buy to Western dogma and unfairly negative news. This is their traditional way of life. Who are you to judge. King has to have as many wives as he wants. You do what go for you.
U speak as an African and I speak as a Swazi..the west, east, Europe whatever have never RESPECTED our ways of doing things. If something does not match/fit how they view and see the world, then it should be done away with and that is what I have a problem with.. homosexuality is being brought up because that is what the west is selling currently, they have an agenda to push it down our throats..and like all other things, if this part of culture does not suit us, it will change. same goes for same sex marriages, if we someday arrive at accepting it,then it will be accepted but no one should diminish what we hold dear jus because they don't agree with it..let us be. We will change when and if we want to and not at your command
AIDS/HIV is man made disease according to documentation,it is not caused by having multiple WIVES. Women married to men =children. Women marrying women/men marrying men =extinction. LEAVE AFRICA’S CULTURE ALONE. The marriages are consensual.
You are complaining that King Mswati is doing his customary duty, and practising polygamy, and yet a man can marry a dog in India, as Selva Kumar, a 33-year old man in Sivanganga district of Tamil Nadu did. Can you marry a cow in India Palki? Since you are against polygamy, your husband should divorce you and marry a cow. In doing so, he might be sparing you from Sati, and he will certainly be improving the quality of his spouse by marrying a god.

As a Swazi, I understand that our traditions and cultural practices are deeply rooted and hold significant meaning for us. The marriage between King Mswati III and Nomcebo Zuma, the daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, is indeed a reflection of our cultural heritage.
In Eswatini, the Reed Dance, or Umhlanga, is a traditional ceremony that celebrates womanhood and chastity. It is a significant cultural event where young women perform in front of the royal family, and it is during this event that the king may choose a bride. This practice is part of our long-standing traditions and is respected by many within our community.
While some may view these customs through a different lens, it is important to recognize that cultural practices vary widely around the world. What may seem unusual or controversial to some is a cherished tradition to others. Our culture and traditions are an integral part of our identity and history.
However, it is also essential to acknowledge that traditions can evolve over time. Discussions about how cultural practices align with modern values and human rights are important. It is possible to honor and preserve our cultural heritage while also considering the well-being and rights of all individuals involved.
In summary, while the marriage of King Mswati III and Nomcebo Zuma may be seen differently by various people, it is a part of our cultural fabric. Respecting and understanding cultural differences is crucial in fostering mutual respect and appreciation.

I agree , it's their culture.
No caste is not normal in India.What Era are you living in?It is illegal in India.Actually we are not miffed about your culture,it is awesome,what we find strange is that a old man is having 16 wives.This will send wrong message to next generation.
Dude even polygamy is normal in India, even now I see it. My own grand father had four wives and 14 children. So we are with you, do not take this Palki seriously. BTW, Caste system, well it is Jaati, British made it into caste system and divided India. Well Jaati system is also bad, but tell me a society where hierarchy is not there? Do top American corporates have hierarchy ? 100% yes.
An Indian, outraged at Africans not embracing the European culture, but their own, has to be the saddest thing I have ever seen!
These Indian Journalists dont have any filter. I love it!😭😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂spicyy
In the name of culture you can't justify this. Please reconsider your opinions guys.
so should you to think other wise
well lot of comments against Palki. To those , ever imagine if it was their own daughter ...who becomes that 16th, 17th, 18th etc
@@vishw6956 We are not trying to make common culture with Indians, the racist who practise caste, and whose culture allows them to marry cows, to perform Sati.
Reconsider this to adopt whose culture?? Your culture then?? The ppl take pride in thier culture, their ways, their customs and are not asking you to change your culture for thiers...
@@vishw6956liar
Would be good to see a woman have 16 husband too
Not in Africa though
Right
50 + woman. Husbands under 20.
Please make that lawful and we will see what happens 😂
not naturally possible cuz 1 man can impregnate 16 women at a time but only 1 women can impregnate 1 man at time🤣
I am african, and I do not condone what the King has been doing... yet I find this reporting quite offensive and condescending. This channel needs to do better. So disrespectful and shameless.
Poverty is the only real crime in this situation. We don't care about polygamy or nude dancing -- that's personal choice. Poverty is the only crime this King has done against his country.
Not all Africans do this. The rest of us don't do such practices
No body cares what think
Still it's okay
Why are you feeling guilty. It's culture and just because someone else things it is wrong doesn't mean it is!
@Questionizer-m7h it is normal in so many African countries for women to breastfeed babies in front of men without covering.
@@EstaJeanette-nk7fj Exactly. Plus, African women only got introduced to breastwears in the 1960s with Westernization. Women often walked like that and it was okay so why does it suddenly seem strange
Do we judge Indian culture? So what's all this I mean really. So polygamy is horrible but homosexuality is good hhhuuhhh?
Where did she say homosexuality is good?
Why is Palki complaining on Behalf of Eswatini women? Did they tell you they dont want to be in a polygamous marriage?
Why does it sound like you putting down beautiful African culture......we are proud of reed dance and that's tradition.We do no sexualise nudity
Are you dumb or what?
You woman journalist who are you to tell us what we must do in our continent?
I thought kim jong was bad😂😂😂
😀
@@amitdas6347 how could you????,okkin all the wrong information you had this reporter speak did you here about Morden slaverly , killings, dictatorship, how can you
Why Not 72 ..America You Got A Job To Do🤣 ...Get This Man Out..
LONG LIVE THE CULTURE OF OF SWAZILAND 🇸🇿 AND ZULU PEOPLE,,GREAT LOVE FROM GHANA 🇬🇭 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭,,,,
I agree with you on this one Palki
Thats propaganda, that practice brings virgin girls, and helps fight HIV. so women abstain. As a head of state he has to have a private jet. And other privilages. This lady didnt first make reseach. HIV is in india too. And was brought by colonial govt. To wipe out Africans in swaziland. Madam next time give correct info.
She is just biased. May be she wants to be , another queen. Thats their culture. And its only for virgin girls, so that indian lady should forcus on indian culture, where they have arranged marriages, and country having so many poor people. But leaders living in luxury. And worshiping idols, and animals.
It's simply foolishness, multiplying wives as if you're multiplying clothings!
THATS WHAT YOU SAY, BUT ASK ESWATINI WOMEN THEIR OPINION ALSO
The girls love it. Reed dance is very popular. Even in South Africa, the Zulu king does the same. They are above the law.
I totally agree with you.Thanks for this video. That's CRAZY to say the least.
@FIRSTPOST YOUR DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC IS IN SUCH POOR TASTE AND REFLECTS A LACK OF RESPECT FOR AFRICAN CULTURE AND ITS TRADITIONS. DON'T INTERFERE WITH PRACTICES THAT ARE VALUED BY THOSE WHO ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THEM. FOCUS ON ISSUES YOUR COUNTRY ISSUES AND LEAVE AFRICAN TRADITIONS, CUSTOMS, AND CULTURE ALONE, AS EVERY NATION HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE IDENTITY THAT DESERVES TO BE HONORED. IN THIS CASE, THE WOMAN INVOLVED WILLINGLY CONSENTED TO THE MARRIAGE, AND BOTH FAMILIES SHARE STRONG BONDS. I’M DISAPPOINTED THAT AFRICAN CUSTOMS WERE PORTRAYED IN SUCH A NEGATIVE AND DISRESPECTFUL LIGHT, AS I BELIEVE THERE’S ROOM FOR MORE THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE DIALOGUE.
Who are you to question someones culture??!! thats are your opinions based on your environment, he has his own world
Her arrogance is repugnant!
That country is a joke😂
This culture of marriage in Eswatini is totally doomed. It is so insane.
What about homosexuality, swimming in other people's poop, dirt,dirty behaviour, sinful, why does the West support that? You are biased. Shame.
Insane my foot
Nothing More Insane & Crazy more than Americans Marriage Laws !
Nothing More Insane than Americans Marriage Laws. Their trying to force Africa to Support & Participate with it ! 👹
and what culture are you from?
Respect other people's cultures. Non- Africans are obsessed with looking down and talking down on black people. In all cultures where there's Royality young women look forward to be chosen by a prince to become a royal wife.
We cant respect dictator, exploitation and shameless behaviour
I AM AN AFRICAN AND I AM LOOKING DOWN ON SUCH PRACTICE AND DON'T EQUATE ONE CULTURAL PRACTICE BY A GROUP WITH THE ENTIRE CONTINENT OF AFRICA.
@@jitendrameena8146There were 30,000 rape cases in India last year do you respect shamless behaviour like that😮Go and google it more over i see where you just had big demonstrations because a female doctor was raped and killed and it now thought by her own colleagues trust me black people see what goes on in India do not be a hypocrit😮
Good for them! They kept their culture and did not submit to colonization.
some people will just comment without understanding the reporter's context. at some point listen is skill
We as Africans do not listen in fact, we do not love each other but always jumping on the neck of people in the name of culture when they are reporting without listening and digesting context, why they go to school is beyond me,
@@meldawilliams1636it's not all Africans... It's just something to do with the environment they grew up and their complex ( people who think they cannot be told what's wrong or right coz they cannot take the truth for what it is ) ...
I personally am with the reporter and to be honest I'm soo happy to be born in a part of africa where none of these things are ever practiced
@@i.b3744 My culture too is not for nakedness, and our biggest problem in Africa is not to be told what is wrong or right
I'm an African and please guys stop saying this is an African culture... In my culture we don't even have polygamy... Nor do we dance bare chested and our girls are allowed to grow and marry men of their age....I especially hate it when people in power exploit the citizens/subjects for their own benefits... Because tell me why the king has private jets and all that wealth when his subjects are in dire poverty.... A population being that 40% of them are HIV positive is not culture anymore.... That's insane
You come from a civilized part of Africa.
KEEP ON LISTENING TO WESTERN NARRATIVE ABOUT HIV AND PRIVATE JETS AND COMPARE WITH OTHERS.
Don't be too short-sighted. You have to protect Eswathini's freedom to practice their culture, so that your will also be protected when it comes under attack. Yes, there is no African culture - there is Zulu culture, Shona culture, Igbo culture etc. This is Eswathini culture.
@@darelet no one helps anyone protect their own culture... Not westerners and definitely not strangers... I have zero obligation in protecting anyone's culture... Only mine....
@@lateefagboola7614 does that make it less evil there?... I have no problem with eswatini people and their culture... I have a problem with the leaders who exploit their subjects for them to live in comfort and luxury.... Those who practice polygamy it's their own business... It is not an African thing... It is a cultural thing and we have different cultures... Mine we don't so generalizing us in the name of supporting each other does not sit right with me.... But 40% of the people being HIV positive in a country with such a small population is alarming.... Because what's the point of protecting a cultural practice that lenders most of you sick?... Its insane
It's 2024 and they still haven't reformed yet😢
Who needs to reform?To what?
YOU MEAN WESTERNIZED AND KNEEL TO WHITE CULTURE ?
@@hlelanompumelelo6850 To homosexuality, bestiality and 52 genders and for some Holy mother cow.
Now you know why AIDS is still rife in Africa 🌍.
How dare you criticize the Culture of a nation. Controversies reside in India. The cast system still going strong in India. Depraved sex habits are common in different parts of India. Africa has one major problem , Africa is too welcoming to people that enrich themselves on the soil of Africa and later criticize Africa .
