The King of Swaziland, King Mswati III has made a declaration in the country that men are required to marry at least five wives or go to jail.

A statement by the King called for all men in the country to marry at least five wives, assuring the men that government would pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.

“Here’s the deal, marry at least five wives and you’re assured that the government will pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.”

King Mswati warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision “will face a life sentence”.

The order is to ensure every woman gets a husband as it is believed that men taking more wives will help women get husbands.

The monarch noted that there are more women than men in Swaziland which he noted was a very serious problem for a country known to be full of virgins.

Reports say that the decision also came following the increasing number of virgins and scarcity of men in the country.

King Mswati himself has 15 wives and 25 children, while his father and predecessor had more than 70 wives and over 150 children.

  • Passengers on a flight to Los Angeles were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime journey that seemed to travel back in time
  • Their jetliner departed from Hong Kong on January 1, 2025, and crossed the International Date Line after six hours, reversing the calendar by a day
  • Cathay Pacific Flight 880 touched down at LAX on December 31, 2024, at about 8:30 pm, a day before their departure date

In a journey that appeared to defy the laws of time, Cathay Pacific Flight 880 departed from Hong Kong on January 1, 2025 and landed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on New Year’s Eve 2024.

ABC News reports that the flight took off from Hong Kong International Airport just after midnight on January 1, 2025.

How Cathay Pacific Flight 880 travelled back in time

Traversing the vast Pacific Ocean, the jetliner crossed the International Date Line about halfway through its 12-hour journey.

The crossing reversed the calendar by a day, allowing the plane to arrive in Los Angeles on December 31, 2024.

The flight touched down at LAX shortly before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, approximately 20 minutes ahead of schedule.

Passengers onboard effectively celebrated New Year’s Day twice, a rare temporal experience made possible by the interplay of time zones and international aviation.

Passengers love trans-Pacific flights to travel “back in time”

Passengers arriving at LAX were greeted with the festive hustle of New Year’s Eve celebrations, providing a unique end to their long-haul flight.

New York Post adds that this time-bending phenomenon is a regular occurrence for eastbound transpacific flights.

Over the years, passengers have been known to book eastbound trans-Pacific flights across New Year’s Eve to experience the holiday twice.

It highlights the fascinating quirks of global timekeeping, where a combination of speed, distance, and the International Date Line can seemingly transport passengers “back in time.”

December was dark month for airline industry

The drama-free Cathay Pacific flight gives a new lease of life to an airline industry that had a difficult ending in 2024.

In one of the worst airline disasters in recent times, nearly all 181 onboard Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216 died after it crashed at Muan International Airport in South Korea.

Only two crew members miraculously survived and were rescued from the Boeing 737-800’s tail section.
