Biography

Nothando Dube was a former Miss Teen Swaziland.[2][3] Dube attended Mater Dorolosa High School.[4] She met Mswati III, the king of Eswatini, in 2004 at a birthday party he hosted for one of his children. He chose her as his new bride during a reed dance she, along with thousands of other Eswatini women, performed at Ludzidzini Royal Village.

Life as a consort

In 2005 she married Mswati III, becoming his twelfth wife, when she was sixteen years old.[5] She gave birth to three children.[6][7] In 2010 she had an affair with justice minister Ndumiso Mamba, for which she was reportedly placed under house arrest.[8][9][10] She filed complaints of abuse and torture at the hands of the king's guards.[11] After a year under house arrest, she was banished from the royal household and prevented from seeing her children.[12]

Death

She died on 8 March 2019 at a hospital in South Africa from skin cancer.[13][14] Her death was officially announced by Governor Lusendvo Fakudze through the Eswatini Broadcasting and Information Service.[15] She was buried on 11 March 2019.[16]

gollark: AE2 can do multiple recipes per item, multiple-output recipes, and to some extent loops IIRC.
gollark: I mean "simple" as in "one recipe for each item, no muultiple-output recipes, no loops", which is quite limiting.
gollark: Very simple autocrafting *is* doable without huge problems - Dragon had an implementation - but that's not very good.
gollark: Are you suggesting we should cover anything but the maximally general case? HERESY!
gollark: In fact, not only is it computationally NP-hard, apparently (Squid did some insanity here: https://squiddev.cc/2018/01/28/ae-sat.html), but to do it *well* you also have to somehow make highly subjective decisions!
