South African Kings Go Bending X5s

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

The South African government forked over some serious dough to hand the Eastern Cape province's five traditional kings each a BMW X5. And two have them have already been wrecked. King Buyelekhaya Dalindyebo of AbaThembu BakaDalindyebo drove over a signpost two days after taking delivery and mangled the front suspension, and Zwelonke Sigcawu of AmaGcaleka apparently did something similar. What's more, King Zwelenkosi Matanzima of Western Thembuland has already dented his. "Grandfather? Who were these men?"

"They were...the Hoon Kings!"
