House Of Dlamini
The House of Dlamini is the royal house of the Kingdom of Eswatini. Mswati III, as king and Ngwenyama of Eswatini, is the current head of the house of Dlamini. Swazi kings up to the present day are referred to as ''Ingwenyama'' and they rule together with the Queen Mother who is called '' Indlovukati''. The Swazi kings, like other Nguni nations, practice polygamy and thus have many wives and children. Foundations The Dlamini dynasty traces itself back to a chief ''Dlamini I'' (also known as ''Matalatala''), who is said to have migrated with the Swazi people from East Africa through Tanzania and Mozambique. Ngwane III, however, is often considered to be the first King of modern Eswatini, who ruled from 1745 to 1780.

Skin Cancer
Skin cancers are cancers that arise from the skin. They are due to the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. There are three main types of skin cancers: basal-cell skin cancer (BCC), squamous-cell skin cancer (SCC) and melanoma. The first two, along with a number of less common skin cancers, are known as nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Basal-cell cancer grows slowly and can damage the tissue around it but is unlikely to spread to distant areas or result in death. It often appears as a painless raised area of skin that may be shiny with small blood vessels running over it or may present as a raised area with an ulcer. Squamous-cell skin cancer is more likely to spread. It usually presents as a hard lump with a scaly top but may also form an ulcer. Melanomas are the most aggressive. Signs include a mole that has changed in size, shape, color, has irregular edges, has more than one color, is itchy or bleeds. More than ...
