Sobhuza's Son In Training To Be Monarch MBABANE, Swaziland (UPI) A 15-year-old son of the late King Sobhuza II of Swaziland is being groomed to rule one of Africa's oldest kingdoms when he turns 21, diplomatic sources said. Sobhuza hand-picked the youth, already known as the Makhosetive King of Kings shortly before he died last August at 83 after nearly 61 years on the throne as the world's longest-reigning monarch. Sobhuza had some 130 wives and fathered an estimated 600 sons, but the crown prince is the only child of his mother, in accordance with a Swazi custom designed to protect the heir-apparent from ambitious and jealous brothers. Diplomatic sources said the Makhosetive's mother, Lat- wala, did not belong to the true royal line but her clan was "acceptable" to the Council of Elders which has been overseeing the succession since Sobhuza's death.

The prince will take the throne on reaching manhood at age 21. Meanwhile Sobhuza's senior widow or Ndlovukazi Great She Elephant will continue as regent, the sources said.
