Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Eswatini is not threatened by political formations and their resolutions against His Majesty King MswatiIII and the government of Eswatini. King\u2019s Office Director of Communications Percy Simelane said there was no reason for him to think any officer in the country could have sleepless nights because of threatsmade by political formations.<\/b><\/p>\n

Simelane was responding to resolutions taken by political formations and civic society groups to put pressure on Eswatini to effect political reforms can take place in the country.<\/p>\n

The resolution was taken at a conference held at eBundu Lodge in Mbombela, South Africa. \u201cWe are aware of the behind-the-scenes operations by political formations, but I do not believe anyone in leadership is losing any sleep over such threats,\u201d Simelane said. He said they had therefore, chose to play their cards close to their chests when it came to such matters. The King\u2019s Office\u2019s mouthpiece said what he could firmly say was that Eswatini was a democracy, with one of the best electoral systemswhere the voters\u2019decision was final.<\/p>\n

Impose<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe, the people, freely nominate and vote into Parliament our representation, as opposed to situations where party leaders impose themselves on the electorate,\u201d he said. He said the international community knows that Eswatini is a democratic countryhence its affiliation to various global formations.He said the country\u2019s Constitution was considered as one of the best in the world and assured that they would continue to defend it.<\/p>\n

Defending<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTo any normal thinking person,defending the Constitution is a noble undertaking for a noble cause,\u201d he said.According to News24, civil society and opposition parties in Eswatini met in SouthAfrica lastweek to discuss and adopt a strategy aimed at turning the country into a democracy. The Mass Democratic Movement (MDM), under the Swaziland Multi- Stakeholder Forum, adopted the eBundu Declaration at a two-day gathering in Mbombela in Mpumalanga. They said they were reaffirming their fight to break down the monarchy in the spirit of those that died during mass. \u201cGalvanised by the radical energy and determination of young people, and catapulted by the spirit displayed by our people in various activities and during the recent shutdowns led by our transport operators in collaboration with the Mass Demo-cratic Movement,\u201d reads the resolution document.<\/p>\n
