King Mswati has demonstrated lack of restraint in spending public money on himself and his family many times. In 2018 got a $13.2 million/1.3 billion private jet as his 50th birthday gift.
The eSwatini king owns two private jets. This comes amid general outcry over his royal extravagance when citizens still languish in abject poverty.
