MBABANE – The Association of Christian Artists in Swaziland (ACASWA) had to
ask permission from the late Enock Mkhwanazi’s family to continue screening
the Sunday episode of ‘Emahubo Endvumiso’
Emahubo Endvumiso is a gospel programme screened on Swazi TV which Mkhwanazi was
presenting. He was expected to present the next 13 episodes.
Episodes
By the time Mkhwanazi passed away, some of the episodes had already been
recorded.  On Sunday, Mkhwanazi hosted three artists who included Gcina Masuku,
Pastor Fine and Make H. These are the only artists who were featured on
Sunday’s show.
Dumisani Manana, ACASWA President said since some the episodes had been
recorded, they had to consult the Mkhwanazi family especially on the continuity
of the programme.
Consult
“Before the programme was aired, we had to consult the family. When everything
happened, the episodes had already been recorded. We thought the best way was to
consult with the family before the programme is aired,” he said.
Manana said they were yet to engage the family on the rest of the episodes
especially because Mkhwanazi was the only presenter of the programme.
“What happened is sad especially because the programme had just been launched.
We cannot leave the family out especially because he was the main man behind the
programme and he also contributed towards the concept,” he said. Meanwhile
Bongani Dlamini, popularly known as S’gcokosiyancinca, Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) of Swazi TV said there were a number of episodes that had already been
recorded and they would plead with the family to allow them to play all the
episodes which he presented.
Dlamini said they would then meet ACASWA to decide the next step in as far as
the presenter of the programme is concerned.
