A FIVER ON WHO IS A PATRIOTIC SWAZI

I always believe that I’m a patriotic Swazi. During this period where Mr President Donald Trump (enough said about him or his hairdo) shoots at unpatriotic American or aliens; indeed he is from the school of thought of capitalism where African sponsors of globalisation have ensured that they trample us underfoot.

As I pen this article (not about me or my success and failures) just relax and read through in order to appreciate and understand what I’ve a titled a free ‘FIVER of how at least a patriotic Swazi handles and presents him/herself to the outside world.’
 A good Swazi shall not discourage others from freedom of thought, conscience or religion  Following the continued unguided missiles thrown towards those who chose to marry other religious bodies other than Christianity, I implore every Swazi to sit back and also challenge the so-called local gurus of the cloth who upon been given an opportunity at the podium demonise other religions.

I’ve noted that such rough tackles have been raised by attaching certain religions practiced in the kingdom to a certain ‘foreign race.’ I’m born of a divided family of religion where my mother is Christian and my father, Muslim. The side I chose is accepted within Section 23 (2) of the country’s Constitution, which clearly states that “Except with the free consent of that person, a person shall not be hindered in the enjoyment of the freedom of conscience, and for the purpose of this section freedom of conscience includes freedom of thought of religion, freedom to change religion or belief and freedom of worship either alone or in community with others”.

Those who demonise other religions are an unpatriotic lot who abuse the podium by alienating other people’s choices. It’s very encouraging to receive positive outlook from the country’s premier with regard to the teaching of other religions in the country’s schools. It gives hope that Section 23 (2) of our Constitution  is here to stay.
