The kingdom of Eswatini has denied reports it was offering citizenship to men from other southern African countries because of a shortage in the country.
A viral bogus letter claiming to be from his royal majesty King Mswati III, expressed concerns over the “scarcity of men” in Eswatini.
The letter also claimed the king would assist willing men from southern Africa to wed women and get free houses in the kingdom.
“The public is notified that this circulating notice is fake,” the Eswatini government said in a short statement posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The source of the fake letter which had excited plenty of social media users in the region, is yet to be established.
Eswatini, Africa’s last absolute monarchy, with a population of about 1.2 million people.
