In a rare case, the Kingdom of Eswatini, known as Swaziland until 2018, is being taken to an employment tribunal by Adam Gale, a former driver for the kingdom.The king, who has dozens of children and is soon to marry his 16th wife, has been criticised for living a lavish lifestyle while most of Eswatini’s population lives in poverty. Mr Gale alleges that during his time working for the country’s diplomatic mission he was a victim of race discrimination as well as unfair dismissal. What is your take on allegations ?
