Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>King Mswati who is in New York for the United Nations(UN) General Assembly is highly expected to meet and interact with world leaders who attended Queen Elizabeth\u2019s funeral.<\/b><\/p>\n

As per King Mswati\u2019s ritual beliefs and practices, Swazis who attended funerals are banned from coming closer to the absolute Monarch for certain days or until they are cleansed.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments on Tuesday, Ludzidzini Palace Governor Lusendvo Fakudze maintained that anyone who attended a funeral must be cleansed first before coming closer to the King.<\/p>\n

\u201cKuba nesihlati lesimnyama nalesimhlophe, nawubuya emngcwabeni ugeza ngaletihlati letimbili.Utsi ungageza-ke sewungaya eNgwenyameni naseNdlovukazini(meaning: After attending a funeral, you must be cleansed first before coming closer to the King or Queen),\u201d said the Governor.<\/p>\n

Sibongile Mazibuko, the Chairperson of the Political Parties Assembly(PPA) said King Mswati was undermining Swazis by banning them from coming closer to him after attending funerals.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, he is attending the UN General Assembly, we will see if those leaders will be allowed to come closer to him”, said the PPA Chairperson.<\/p>\n
