Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>It is the tendency of shouting \u201cBayethe\u201d even when King Mswati utters outright lies that destroyed this country, lies should be condemned regardless of the author.<\/b><\/p>\n

A majority of the people who attended the Sibaya gathering cannot afford private hospitals and this, means they know exactly the challenges faced by public health facilities amid shortage of medication.<\/p>\n

But regardless of this reality, they opted to shout \u201cBayethe Wena Waphakathi\u201d as the King lied saying, the country has an improved health system, maybe Mswati was referring to his Manzana Royal Hospital.<\/p>\n

But the sad reality is that, some of those who shouted \u201cBayethe\u201d as Mswati lied,will be calling journalists in the coming weeks saying;<\/p>\n

\u201cI am here at the Mbabane Government Hospital, no medication and I don\u2019t know what to do\u201d.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a cultural norm or not, it doesn\u2019t make sense to sit down inside Sibaya, just to listen to one man uttering outright lies, a speech from a Head of State should be a subject of public scrutiny and\/or debate.<\/p>\n

Normally, in democratic countries, a Head of State is \u2018cross examined\u2019 by Parliament and the media, these are institutions that promote transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n

But here in eSwatini, Mswati has a prerogative of summoning the Nation just to lie with impunity.<\/p>\n

The reality suggests that Government hospitals are facing shortage of drugs and therefore, King Mswati was speaking absolute nonsense during Sibaya.<\/p>\n

It is therefore important to clarify that such nonsense, if not corrected, will be believable in the eyes of the unsuspecting members of the public.<\/p>\n

Even those who knew that the health system has collapsed found themselves shouting \u201cBayethe\u201d because, that\u2019s the cultural norm.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, it is such tendencies of saying \u201cYes you are right Your Majesty\u201d even when the King is messing-up, that resulted to the collapse of public institutions like the health system.<\/p>\n

I will not shout \u201cBayethe\u201d and endorse lies while people are dying in Government hospitals.<\/p>\n
