Swaziland's ambassadors who are polygamists will be allowed to take only one wife with them on foreign postings, the Foreign Minister, Solomon Dlamini, told parliament, Reuter reports from Mbabane.

Polygamy is a source of pride to traditional Swazis. King Mswati III has several at the age of 25. His father, King Sobhuza, who died aged 83, had at least 100 wives.
