Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The above words describe how the news of South African Deputy President David Dabede Mabuza attending the Incwala Ceremony were welcomed by some members of the public and the international media.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mabuza landed in the country yesterday and joined His Majesty King Mswati III in dance at the Little Incwala at Buhleni Royal Residence.<\/p>\n

The international media, including News24, MSN, Zalebs and many others wrote, about his private visit in the country.<\/p>\n

Also, some locals took to their social media, applauding Mabuza for attending, saying that his surname was Swati meaning he was a liSwati as well. They also said this was proof that the Eswatini heritage was gaining popularity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was eye-catching that he wore the proper gear and looked like he was in the zone. This is great,\u201d said one social media user.<\/p>\n

Another social media user said this was a humbling moment for Eswatini, saying it was such gestures that put the country on the map.<\/p>\n

When sought for comment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Sikhumbuzo Bhembe said it was great to notice that Mabuza\u2019s visit had attracted positive attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the things that put Eswatini on the map,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Government Spokesperson Alpheus Nxumalo sent out a statement stating that the Deputy President would also be paying homage to His Majesty King Mswati III.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>The Deputy President is not visiting in his capacity as a government official, but purely as a liSwati (son of the soil) here to participate in the on-going sacred Incwala ceremony and pay homage to His Majesty King Mswati III. He is accompanied by Chiefs and Princes based in the Mpumalanga Province in the Republic of South Africa and is currently at Buhleni Royal Residence,\u201d detailed Nxumalo.<\/p>\n
