Swaziland has one of the most beautiful women in the world. In addition to their beauty, the women are very humble, loyal, sultry, loving, kind, generous, and one will not help but fall in love with that little Kingdom through the eyes of their women.
I especially love to see them in their cultural clothes. Swazi women are just moulded for the eyes - such flawless specimen of God. It is my belief that when God was creating the Swazi woman, he fell asleep and all he kept doing was to apply the clay to the skeleton. When he woke up and saw how beautiful his handiwork was, he now took his time to refine the clay all over the skeleton, and the result is this mouth-watering, appetizing, beautiful of a gem called the Swazi woman.
The men are equally not far behind in grace and charm.
They also have a beautiful climate that will make Europeans flock to that "paradise" and make the Kingdom their second home, thereby creating the sort of business climate that will benefit the government and citizenry. Winter in Swaziland is like what we have in Europe and the US, and summer is not as sizzling as other parts of Africa.
It is my hope that in the not-too-distant future, this male dominated society will realize how blessed they are to have such a beautiful and peaceful country, loosen their grip on the populace so that they can all grow to experience their God given rights and freedoms. When that happens, Swazis as a whole will benefit tremendously from the flow of tourists and businesses into that beautiful Kingdom.
I love you, Swaziland, and I look forward to visiting you again.
