Angry virgins tackle child bride
ZULU King Goodwill Zwelithini's child bride has been fined a cow by outraged neighbours, who this week accused the 17-year-old teenager of violating Swaziland's prohibition on teenage marriage.

Twenty virgin maidens, led by a senior tribal council elder, marched on Zola Mafu's modest family home outside Swaziland's sugar-growing town of Siteki last Saturday and refused to leave until they were given a cow.

The chanting girls then promptly slaughtered the sacrificial beast, warning that they also intended to march on King Zwelithini's KwaKhangela palace 200km away in northern KwaZulu-Natal where Mafu is living in seclusion with Queen Mantfombi.


I wonder how much a cow is actually worth. Like what's the exchange rate?

If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists. If
