NGABEZWENI - A tourist from Spain yesterday had a great day when he saw His
Majesty King Mswati III.
Jose Lopez was among the tourists who joined the King during the fifth day of
the ongoing Little Incwala Ceremony at Ngabezweni Royal Residence.
Lopez, who was clad in his traditional attire, was moving up and down with the
intent of seeing the King. He asked if it was possible to see and pose for a
photo with the King.
Protocol
The explanation he got from the warriors was that the King did not have a
problem with posing with anyone; however, protocol had to be followed. In an
interview, he said he had a few days in the country and he would be leaving
soon.
“I had desired to pose for a photo with the King before I leave Eswatini. I
will not be around until the main Incwala Ceremony,” he said.
The King moved to Ngabezweni Royal Residence yesterday leaving other warriors
dancing with the Queen Mother at Ludzidzini Royal Residence.
He was joined by all regiments including Lutsango, Imbali, Ingatja, paramedics
and armed forces. The King is expected to proceed to the other royal residences
until he reaches Buhleni where he would then be expected to commission Ingatja
to fetch lusekwane.
