MBABANE – “I have not given up on Swazi women.” This is the bold statement
that the Prime Minister, Sibusiso Dlamini, said in jest when staff members from
his office threw him a surprise party yesterday.
In a light hearted mood, with the PM in his jovial self, he got many of his
staff members laughing their lungs out when he related how some people had
thought he travelled to the Republic of China on Taiwan ‘to look for a new
wife’.
Speaking in between raptures of laughter, the PM found himself having to explain
to his team that he had not, actually, given up on Swazi women.
The whole story started when the PM thanked the team for the surprise party and
the kind gesture where he then gave them a glimpse of his ‘love life’.
The head of government said he had learnt that many Swazis were concerned about
his stance on being in another relationship.
He said that was evident when he impromptu left the country for medical
attention at a Taipei hospital in the Republic of China on Taiwan, a couple of
days before his 75th birthday.
Dlamini said the majority who were not aware about his whereabouts after Their
Majesties had issued a directive that he be taken to the best hospital when he
fell sick, were of the view that he had either taken a female companion to
celebrate his birthday outside the country or he had gone there to look for a
new wife.
Others thought that I had gone there for government duties.
“I was flooded by messages on my social networks including emails and
WhatsApp, where people were telling different stories. Some thought I was on
government duties while some were of the view that I was dating someone
somewhere.
“Some thought I left the country to look for a woman, probably because (they
thought) I had given up on Swazi women,” the PM said, much to the laughter of
his team.
He said the news were spreading so much that they even reached his relatives who
then called and asked him if he was really away to look for someone.
“I told the caller that I was at a Taiwan hospital where I was being taken
care of by doctors. I informed my relative that there were beautiful and
respectful ladies in Taiwan but the problem was the communication barrier,” he
said.
In jest, the premier informed the staff that there was total misunderstanding
between him and the Taiwanese ladies when he directed them to Swaziland.
