A young woman is seeking  asylum in 
Britain after she spurned the advances of the polyamorous King Mswati 
III of Swaziland (pictured right) and refused to join his harem of 13 
wives. 
 
Tintswalo
 Ngobeni, 22, fled to England from the southern African nation as a 
teenager after she caught the attention of the millionaire monarch, a 
notoriously oppressive ruler known for his lavish lifestyle. 
 
As part of Swazi custom, King Mswati III, 45, is permitted to choose a new bride every year. 
 
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5438533803477296299" name="more"></a>Miss
 Ngobeni, who now lives in Birmingham, was just 15 when the King made 
his advances after seeing her at the palace of his fourth wife, 
LaNgangaza. She said she was ‘terrified’ when she learned of his 
marriage intentions. 
 
She 
added: ‘He started calling me at boarding school. He would ask me if I 
wanted to be a part of the royal family. I had to keep quiet about my 
fears but I knew I didn’t want to get married to him and have a life 
devoted to the king.  
 
'His
 wives are kept in their palace, surrounded by bodyguards, and they 
can’t really go anywhere unless the king says so. The only thing they do
 is go to America once a year, as the king gives them a shopping 
allowance.'

Miss Ngobeni was
 forced to abandon a comfortable lifestyle in a private boarding school 
as her aunt, who was her chief guardian, arranged the escape to England 
to join her mother, who moved to Birmingham five years earlier, fleeing 
an abusive husband. 
 
 
‘I didn’t have a choice,’ she said. ‘Nobody has ever turned down the king or dares to disobey him, so I just disappeared.’ 
 
Since
her arrival in England, Miss Ngobeni has become a vocal opponent of the
oppressive Swazi regime, where political opposition parties are banned 
and activists routinely arrested or assaulted. 
 
However, Miss Ngobeni’s high-profile 
activities, including weekly protests outside the Swazi embassy in 
London with activist group Swazi Vigil, have caught the attention of the
 authorities in her home country and she now believes she is in more 
danger than ever. 
 
<div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">
 
She said: ‘Recently I had news that 
people had been sent from Swaziland to come and get me, which really 
scares me. If I went back, I would be arrested or much worse as there 
are people there who are tortured, beaten up or killed for being 
politically active.’ 
 
Miss 
Ngobeni now lives in fear of having to return to Swaziland, after her 
first plea for political asylum in England in 2007 was denied in 2011.  
 
Last
 month, she was arrested and taken to an immigration detention centre 
after 18 months of reporting weekly to the authorities.  
 
However,
 after pressure from the TUC and the office of Roger Godsiff, Labour MP 
for Birmingham, Miss Ngobeni was released and has now been granted an 
appeal by the Home Office.  
 
Mr
 Godsiff said yesterday: ‘We were very pleased solicitors were 
successful in achieving a judicial review into Miss Ngobeni’s case.’ 
The
 father of 27 children, King Mswati III was a guest at the William and 
Kate wedding as well as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations last 
summer. 
The king’s sixth wife escaped from the royal harem last year, citing years of ‘emotional and physical abuse’ by her husband.
