Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>\u201cKing Mswati is more powerful than Presidents\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n

These were the sentiments of Ludzidzini Indvuna(Governor) Themba Ginindza who was allegedly part of those who were facilitating and or performing rituals for Mswati on Monday night.<\/p>\n

As per an electronic evidence sourced from the Palace on Monday evening, King Mswati performed the rituals(kukhanyisa indlela) before flying to Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) where he attended a Southern African Development Community(SADC) Summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cItawuhamba kahle Ingwenyama, lena yiNkhosi ayifani nabo President(meaning: The King will have a safe journey, unlike Presidents, he is a King)\u201d, said the Ludzidzini Indvuna as quoted in our electronic evidence.<\/p>\n

After the press published a story of the rituals on Tuesday, Percy Simelane, the Director of Communciations in the King\u2019s Office sent a message to this journalist urging anyone who believes kuphahla(performing rituals) is a criminal offense to dial 999, a police emergency number.<\/p>\n

\u201cAkashayele 999 uma kuphahla kuyi Criminal Offence(meaning: Anyone who believes performing rituals is a criminal offense must dial 999),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments, Ludzidzini Governor Lusendvo Fakudze said he was not at the Palace and referred questions to Indvuna Themba Ginindza.<\/p>\n

\u201cShayela Indvuna Ginindza, mine ngisekhaya ngalokungaphili, kute lengikwatiko kwakaNgwane(meaning:Call Indvuna Ginindza, I am away due to my health condition and not aware of what is going kaNgwane(at Ludzidzini Palace),\u201d said the Governor.<\/p>\n

Subsequent efforts to reach Indvuna Themba Ginindza proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments earlier, Sibongile Mazibuko, the Chairperson of the Political Parties Assembly(PPA) said performing rituals would not save the King in the midst of the political situation, she urged him to surrender himself and embrace a political dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cUmutsi wakhe kadze waphupha, sekute latawubhaca khona nyalo, the money used to perform rituals should have been used to pay scholarships, supply drugs in hospitals including food in the various schools. Performing rituals will not save him, he must surrender himself and embrace a political dialogue,\u201d said the President of the Ngwane National Liberatory Congress(NNLC) who doubles as the PPA Chairperson.<\/p>\n
