MDUMEZULU – “Laba labasinika bomasthandane asebasiyekele bo.”
When loosely translated this means ‘those offering us treats must just leave
us alone’.
Chief Kusa told his subjects yesterday to remain immune to the promises made by
aspiring Members of Parliament and urged them to ensure their votes were free
from external influence and pressure as this was the only way to keep the
Tinkhundla system pristine.
The chief kept his address short and stated that His Majesty King Mswati III had
addressed the nation on Friday at the Royal Cattle Byre and he wanted people to
remember His Majesty’s words.
“Do not let down the people you vote for, when they need to bring back a
report to the community you have to be available.
It is the community’s responsibility to meet with the people they elect to
offer advice and counsel,” he said.
