Who is his current heir? Is it his older son or one of his other children? Morhange 01:13, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Also. Is that photo of the real king?
It should explain in the article what this means as it might not be clear to the uninitiated. -- Daniel C. Boyer 20:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
The previous King had 210 children and not 210 sons. Also Mswati III is not the 2nd oldest son. If the King had 210 children he most certainly had sons before Mswati was born when he was in his 60s.
This section needs a major clean up as it is definitely not NPOV and does not cite any sources. It's use of weasel words and vagueness are also very non-encyclopaedic. Satur9 08:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

from this page to Goodwill Zwelithini kaBhekuzulu. Anyone have better information ? Wizzy… ☎ 08:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know what this actually means or have anything to back this up? Every single Google result (and there are only about 8) for this word returns to this page. 92.15.17.6 ( talk) 09:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
The controversies section of this article is terribly overtagged. If editors have issues with its verifiability, it is fine to just discuss it on the talk page without leaving behind salad of "verification and citation needed" tags. Either that, or, if the information is unsourced, it is fine to remove it entirely. But having so many tags just makes the encyclopedia look terribly unprofessional.

Mswati III of Swaziland → Mswati III — There is nothing in naming guidelines in favor of the current titles for these rulers. There are no other people named "Mswati III" to disambiguate with, and WP:NCROY specifically says that pre-disambiguation is only for western rulers. Mswati III is a simpler title, and the current title offers no advantages over it john k ( talk) 19:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
The king may have "the power to choose the prime minister, other top government posts and top traditional post". That does not make him "absolute", any more than having equivalent powers make the US president "absolute". 203.184.41.226 ( talk) 04:15, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Is anything known about his religious convictions or attendance (or lack thereof)? Gerard von Hebel ( talk) 10:49, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
I am considering removing the reed dance section which already has its own article. I am not sure how it is relevant in the biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludvonga ( talk • contribs) 22:42, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
In the info-box it says that the king now has 14 wives. In the article it says 15. Does anybody know, and have a source on, the correct nr? Idunius ( talk) 17:54, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
