Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Growing-up I had a privilege of sitting next to my grandfather Prince Mgungu during Family Court proceedings \u201cEndlini ka-Gogo\u201d, he was chairing all our family meetings in terms of Swazi Law and Custom.<\/b><\/p>\n

My grandfather was a former National Court President(Ndabazabantu) having been appointed by the late King Sobhuza II, he was well-versed with issues of Swazi Law and Custom and resolving domestic conflicts.<\/p>\n

Sibaya is more like \u201cIndlu yaka-Gogo\u201d where the King reduces citizens of this country into his family members and impose a Prime Minister(PM), in the process he calls that democracy.<\/p>\n

Indeed,there are similarities between the proceedings of Sibaya and the discussions we used to have \u201cEndlini ka-Gogo\u201d, my grandfather as the Head of the Family of Prince Msimudze\u2019s Lusendvo used to chair the proceedings and issue judgements.<\/p>\n

But that would be done after \u201cKubhunga\u201d, and\/or expression of views, the difference in our case was that, the judgements of the Family Court were respected by all family members.<\/p>\n

But in the context of Sibaya, it is an insult to the citizens of this country to reduce their political thinking into the level of a Family Court or Forum referred to as \u201cSibaya, the highest decision making arena\u201d.<\/p>\n

Politics is about debates and competition to contest power and public power is subject to accountability, it is far different from the rules that regulate engagements \u201cEndlini ka-Gogo\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is the significance of calling the citizens to Sibaya when you know very well who you want to appoint as a Prime Minister?.<\/p>\n

Mswati is fooling the Nation, Sibaya is nothing but a mockery of democracy.<\/p>\n

It would have been different if it was established as a platform for the Dlaminis to discuss their family issues not to take decisions for the entire country.<\/p>\n

My grandfather once appeared before the Ludzidzini Council and they clashed with Princess Tfobhi who wanted to grab our land that was allocated by the late King to Prince Msimudze.<\/p>\n

The Ludzidzini Council ruled in our favour, Sibaya should be a platform for the Dlaminis to discuss and resolve their issues because we have many unresolved disputes among ourselves.<\/p>\n

This country cannot be a Dlamini property, eSwatini must be democratized and the citizens must be allowed to elect their own Government not to be subjects of the ruling Dlamini clan.<\/p>\n

The institution of the Monarchy can exist in a democratic dispensation if the citizens wants it but, without interfering in the political affairs or administration of government.<\/p>\n

But I was encouraged upon hearing the King expressing concerns regarding the high level of poverty and\/or scarcity of jobs in the country, at least he is now adapting to realities and maybe, one day he will invite those calling for democracy to participate in a political dialogue.<\/p>\n

King Mswati has just summoned the Nation to \u201cEndlini ka-Gogo\u201d, this forum is known as \u201cSibaya\u201d and that is where citizens convey to listen to him imposing a Prime Minister of his choice.<\/p>\n

The truth is,we are emaSwati, we cannot discourage our way of life, \u201cIndlu yaka-Gogo\u201d is one of the best platforms to discuss family issues and dialogue.<\/p>\n

But Sibaya, a forum equivalent to \u201cIndlu yaka-Gogo\u201d cannot be a democratic forum where Swazi Law and Custom is manipulated to impose political decisions that impact the lives of the people without fair processes that include democratic elections.<\/p>\n

Worth-noting, if all the citizens who will attend Sibaya can call for the release of Mduduzi Bacede Mabuza and be appointed a Prime Minister, or speak in one voice saying they want Sibongile Mazibuko, the President of the Ngwane National Liberatory Congress(NNLC) to be the PM, Mswati cannot implement those demands.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t remember even one decision that was implemented after Sibaya submissions or recommendations.<\/p>\n

What happened is that, Mswati re-appointed the then Prime Minister Sibusiso Dlamini after Sibaya called for his dismissal and the removal of Circular No 1 of 2010, a document that awarded politicians lucrative benefits at the expense of the poor citizens.<\/p>\n

Therefore, referring to Sibaya as a democratic and the highest decision making institution is nothing but a mockery of democracy,<\/p>\n

A political dialogue, drafting of a new Constitution and the establishment of a legal framework that will regulate a Transitional Authority pending negotiations is the solution.<\/p>\n

This country cannot be reduced into a royal family property where issues are discussed \u201cEndlini ka-Gogo\u201d, disguised as Sibaya.<\/p>\n
