Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>In a recording that made rounds on social media yesterday, Apostle Justice has reacted to the pictures published by the Times SUNDAY, where His Majesty King Mswati III is shaking hands and sharing a light moment with South African Businessman Dave Van Niekerk.<\/b><\/p>\n

In the recording, the man of the cloth says over 1 000 emaSwati lost their investments amounting to over E340 million at Ecsponent. Van Niekerk was never a director in Ecsponent but had an interest in businesses linked to Ecsponent. In fact, the matter is now pending in court, where one of the investors, Likhwane, is intending to institute court proceedings to recover over E63 million investment in Ecsponent. Dlamini said he was expecting one of two things to unfold after the meeting between the King and the businessman, mainly touching on emaSwati receiving their investment. \u201cI hope that the feedback we will get after the meeting borders around two things and it will bring the much-needed closure to the people who lost their monies in the investment company,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dlamini said he was addressing the matter because some of the emaSwati who lost their monies were members of his church, some of whom were currently languishing in hospitals owing to the situation. King\u2019s Office Director of Communications Percy Simelane said they were not privy to the visit by the businessman in question and wanted to believe that it was private. Simelane said it should be the duty of the courts to find him guilty or not guilty. \u201cWe doubt if he came here to appear before the King for his alleged deeds. Our experience is that the King has embraced an open-door policy, but he knows pretty well when not to commit. The proof of wisdom is the desire to listen to everyone, even suspects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Van Niekerk, speaking after his meeting with the King, said he was impressed by His Majesty\u2019s astuteness and quick wit. \u201cI don\u2019t really want to share the details, because it is not my place to do so, but we discussed a few legal matters and we looked at some future opportunities, but I really enjoyed my meeting with His Majesty and the hospitality extended by his palace team,\u201d Van Nierkerk said. He also stated that he wanted many emaSwati who invested in Ecsponent to get their money back and that he was of the view that the company should be put under curatorship.<\/p>\n
