He is Africa's last absolute monarch. He rules by decree, and is strongly opposed to democratisation of his country. He has ca. 10 wives. In 2002 it was alleged he caused a girl to be kidnapped to become his tenth wife, but no charges were pressed against him in his own courts.
There is a yearly event where tens of thousands of bare-breasted young women dance in front of the king, hoping to become one of his wives.
