Africa-Press – Eswatini. King Mswati says the late former Deputy Prime Minister(DPM) Constance Simelane was a committed and trustworthy woman loyal to the country.
The King was speaking through his representative ex-DPM now Shiselweni Regional Administrator(RA) Themba Masuku and this was during the Memorial Service of the late first female Deputy Prime Minister held in Manzini on Friday afternoon.
“Senator Constance was trustworthy and deeply loyal to every task she undertook. She left a trail of good work inscribed in the hearts of many. She was a peacemaker with a special gift for resolving complex issues-qualities that earned her a place at the United Nations,” said RA Masuku. Her compassion for the underprivileged was evident in her advocacy for the Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Grant, and her support for Zondle Boys Home and a girls’ home in Hlathikulu”, said the King’s representative as quoted by Government online platforms.
On another note, Acting Deputy Prime Minister Phila Buthelezi described the death of the former DPM as a loss to the Government and the entire Nation.
“The passing of Senator Simelane leaves government vulnerable and without the much-needed wisdom and guidance that only experience can offer in navigating challenging times. She was a gift to her family and to the country, as recognized by His Majesty, who appointed her Minister for Education in 2003 and later as Eswatini’s first female Deputy Prime Minister,” he said.
