Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>In Siswati there\u2019s an adage that says \u201ckuhloma elutswini\u201d, it means exposing someone on things discussed behind the scenes.<\/b><\/p>\n

Now,when retired Urban Development Principal Secretary(PS) Clifford Mamba locked the government office and disappeared without any handover, he was exposing King Mswati who appointed him into the position.<\/p>\n

After disappearing without any handover, the PS reportedly refused to vacate a government house he has been occupying as part of his benefits as a Controlling Officer.<\/p>\n

In Siswati \u201cuhlome iNkhosi elutswini\u201d just to prove to anyone that he was powerful and will definitely bounce back.<\/p>\n

Whether Mamba will be awarded an extended contract or not, the message he was communicating to the public and other officials within the Ministry, by locking a government office, was not only political but, it demonstrated that Mamba might have been involved in \u2018dirty\u2019 dealings with Mswati.<\/p>\n

The answer whether Principal Secretary(PS) Clifford Mamba was part of King Mswati\u2019s powerful and politically connected corrupt syndicate will be known in the next few months.<\/p>\n

The King is yet to appoint a Cabinet,new Ambassadors, emaBandla, MPs, Senators and other members of the various Governing Councils, perhaps Clifford Mamba might emerge in the next appointments or be granted a new contract as PS.<\/p>\n

But one is tempted to make an example about Spokesperson Percy Simelane,who is one of Mswati\u2019s trusted servants.<\/p>\n

When the time came for Simelane to retire, he did not behave like Clifford Mamba or abused the trust bestowed upon him by the King,he accepted that his contract had expired and went home without locking his office.The King re-appointed Simelane as his Spokesperson while he was at home.<\/p>\n

But,it be should be noted that,in the event the retired PS bounce back,that would mean he is one of the most powerful trusted servants of the King, but an arrogant one.<\/p>\n

Clifford Mamba has been telling officials within the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development that he will bounce back, it\u2019s difficult to cross fingers and say \u201che won\u2019t\u201d.<\/p>\n

Who knows, maybe he was engaging in corruption as per the instructions of the King.<\/p>\n
