MBABANE – Yesterday’s scorching heat did not deter His Majesty King Mswati
III from enduring an over 30-minute aerobics workout.
Temperatures in the city and surrounding areas soared to 31 Degrees Celsius
yesterday. Thousands had cascaded to Somhlolo National Stadium for the fourth
instalment of the celebrated Imbube Marathon and the festivities were once again
headlined by a workout by the King.
The Eswatini National Provident Fund-sponsored race is staged under the ‘Push
your limit’ banner. The King once again proved flawless in his execution of
the aerobics steps and endured the entire session which lasted for over 30
minutes.
The aerobics workout would not be complete without the rhythmic cultural dances
which are known as kukosha in vernacular. They also complemented the aerobics.
Members of the royal family, led by senior Prince Masitsela, also led by example
and conquered the ‘obstacles’. Cabinet Ministers, who included Princess
Sikhanyiso, as well as Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs’ Harries ‘Madze’
Bulunga and his predecessor David ‘Cruiser’ Ngcamphalala, among others,
could also not miss out.
After the workout, winners got to share the podium with the king, as they
collected their prizes.
