Recently, the spotlight has shifted to the extravagant lifestyle surrounding some notable figures, including the new wife of King Mswati and Jacob Zuma’s daughter, Nomcebo Zuma.
The attention was drawn when she was spotted flaunting a stunning Jacob & Co. watch that comes with a jaw-dropping price tag exceeding R10 million.
A Watch Worth Millions
According to Swaziland News, Inkhosikati Nomcebo Zuma, who is King Mswati’s 16th wife, was seen wearing the luxurious Jacob & Co.
Epic X Tourbillion Baguette White Diamond watch, which is valued at approximately £541,129 (around R12,375,187).
This eye-catching piece is not just a timepiece; it’s a statement of wealth and prestige.
Comments from the Palace
When asked about Nomcebo’s extravagant choice in jewelry, the King’s spokesperson, Percy Simelane, responded that he was unaware of her wardrobe selections.
He remarked, “I have no clue of her jewellery; individual wardrobes are financed privately.”
This statement suggests a clear separation between the royal family’s personal expenses and the palace’s official responsibilities.
Taxpayer Impact
The publication also reported that King Mswati’s upcoming international trip with the 21-year-old Nomcebo is projected to cost taxpayers over R200 million.
This journey will take them to several significant events, including the World Food Forum in Italy, a visit to Serbia, and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa.
Financial Oversight
Percy Simelane further clarified that the royal office does not manage the finances or allowances for the King and his entourage.
He directed inquiries regarding financial matters to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, indicating a layered structure in handling the royal family’s expenditures.
What’s Next?
As this narrative unfolds, many are left wondering what further developments will emerge regarding the royal family’s spending habits and international engagements.
The combination of luxury, politics, and public funds continues to capture public interest.
