7. What type of government system operates in Eswatini?
From Quiz Simply Swaziland
Answer:
Absolute Monarchy
The Kingdom of Eswatini is one of the few countries still run completely by the monarchy, and is one of three monarchies in Africa (the other two being Lesotho and Morocco). Eswatini's monarch, King Mswati III, holds supreme judicial, legislative, and executive powers. He came to the throne in 1986, and is often criticized for not taking enough care of his people, and spending his money on luxury vehicles like BMWs, when he should be concentrating on healthcare, as Eswatini has one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in the world. He has over a dozen wives and about two dozen children (no worries about who's taking over then! Although, interestingly, and unlike many other monarchies, the oldest son is never the heir to the throne.
