“Here’s the deal, marry at least five wives and you’re assured that the government will pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them,” the statement added.

King Mswati, who has 15 wives, warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision “will face a life sentence”.

Meanwhile, this order has attracted several reactions on  Twitter. Here are some of the reactions as follows:
