A government minister in Swaziland has resigned amid rumours that he had an affair with one of the 14 wives of King Mswati III.

Ndumiso Mamba, the justice minister and childhood friend of Mswati, stepped down as the sex scandal rocked the tiny African kingdom.A pro-democracy group, Swaziland Solidarity Network, alleged last week that Mamba had been having an affair with 23-year-old Inkhosikati LaDube, the 12th wife of the king.It has been claimed that LaDube wore an elaborate disguise so she could enjoy clandestine meetings with Mamba. The queen is said to have dressed in military fatigues to leave the royal palace without arousing suspicion.
