Africa-Press – Eswatini. The Nation of emaSwati in the modern anatomy lies an alienated character, we behave like not owners nor indigenous Swazis who must enjoy and endure comprehensive real rights and duties over the land, waters, airspace and everything that breath over and under this territory bequeathed to us by our forebears.
We also conduct ourselves truly like there is another country that when the day comes where life shall be no more bearable here, we will simply migrate to a new country to start life afresh, like a tenant moving in the twilight hours of the night.
The public healthcare system has collapsed, poor dilapidated infrastructure, broken machines and tools, low doctor-patient ratio, poorly paid nurses and demoralized support stuff, recurrent acute medicines and tablets supplies.
But all this happens infront of us emaSwati, to date we have not stood up and out decisively against King Mswati and his criminal syndicate Cabinet.
Scholarship provision since the days of Constance Simelane as Minister of Education back in 2006 has been drastically reduced by Government, a reversal of the democratic dividend a product of the last democratic elections in this country, as opposed to today Tinkhundla elections fraught with austerity measures against the poor and youth.
This happens once again right under our watch if not participation, electricity and water has become even more expensive and unsustainable commodity than a basic service for the Nation.
The market economics determinants rules the day into the provision of these ,to the exclusion of poor consumers who form the majority and mainly unemployed, we have let the ruling elite suffocate us to a dark corner in which we pay an arm and a leg to afford such basic services, even airtime, data and internet services are super expensive, yet poor quality actually switched on and off at the whims and caprice of the royal stiletto.
Youth unemployment is in nauseating levels, where our own children scavenge for five posts in the army in thousands per Inkhundla, only to return in the future and shoot down their own people they grew up with, because to complain in protests is dubbed terrorism in this country, therefore attracting lethal response from the army, police, warders and third force brigade planted in the same communities.
One is not asking too much today about democracy, rule of law, good governance, justice and/or egalitarianism of our development plan if we have any.
The tenant mentality is the most cowardice and curse we’ve adopted to the detriment of ourselves worse to our children, King Mswati and his criminal syndicate cabinet is milking dry, not just the public funds but literally looting minerals from Lufafa, Dvokolwako, Ngwenya, Maloma and Malolotja nature reserve, but draining the very best of our collective wealth as a people.
EmaSwati must know that as you egg-walk, sleep walk and drink alcohol during marula royal ceremonies, dancing during umhlanga, Incwala, know one thing, this country has long been sold to Ashraff, Donald Trump to dump rapists, child pornography deportees and murderous because royalty is benefitting millions out of such ill begotten deals.
