Ndlovukati

Ndlovukati (literally, "She-Elephant", pl. Tindlovukati; Zulu: Indlovukazi) is the Swati title for the female head of state of Swaziland and is roughly equivalent to a Queen Mother or Senior Queen in other countries. The title is given preferentially to the mother of the reigning King (styled the Ngwenyama, "Lion of Swaziland"), or to another female royal of high status if the King's mother has died.
