Is it true that King Mswati 3 from Eswatini, previously called Swaziland, always takes advantage of the Reed Dance to choose his wives?

The Umhlanga Reed Dance in Eswatini is a traditional dance ceremony celebrated, mostly, at the end of August every year. This is a Swati cultural event which is performed as a tribute to the Royal Family in Eswatini and it dates back centuries in time. Performed by maiden girls, strictly childless, from across the country, the dance is attended by the King, his mother (Queen Mother) and visitors from all over.
