Ngwenyama


Ngwenyama is the title of the male ruler of Eswatini. The Ngwenyama is the counterpart of the Ndlovukati. Ingwenyama means "Lion" in SiSwati, but in an honorific sense, as opposed to libhubesi, the usual way of referring to actual lions.
The title is sometimes written Ingwenyama, iNgwenyama, or ingwenyama, with the prefix i-, meaning "the king".
The current king is Mswati III.
The annual budget allocated to the King and the royal household amounts to 61 million USD
