5-hour wait for delayed groom!
MAHLANYA – Mpendulo Dlamini and Nompumelelo Mwandla’s wedding was delayed for several hours yesterday
When it eventually went ahead, the ceremony only lasted less than an hour.
The wedding was held at Africa Methodist Episcopal (AME) church and started at 2.30pm and ended about 3:10pm.
In less than an hour, Dlamini and Mwandla had already exchanged vows and guests were about to have lunch.
The short time allocated for the wedding was not their intention.
Dlamini kept guests waiting from 9am while he was busy trying to sort out a few things with the police.
There was a complaint against him that clearly needed the attention of the police.
One of his brothers-in-law from South Africa said the complaint was merely not against Dlamini personally but against his company.
As a result, the wedding started very late.
The bridal party and guests waited for long hours and others left.
It could not be ascertained what precisely the police wanted from Dlamini or his company.
Superintendent Wendy Hleta, the Public Relations Officer (PRO), said it became difficult for her to trace the police station that might have been involved in any matter relating to Dlamini.
The place where the wedding was held falls under the jurisdiction of the Malkerns Police Station.
Dlamini was recently cornered and rebuked publicly by attorneys at the High Court for representing clients yet he was not an admitted lawyer at the High Court.
Cops save reporters from rowdy bunch
MAHLANYA – Violent relatives of the bride yesterday detained journalists for covering the event.
They wanted the newspaper’s reporters to delete all the pictures they had taken during the wedding of Mpendulo Dlamini and Nompumelelo Mwandla.
They then forced them out of the AME church but blocked the way out of the gate by parking a car at the exit.
They said the car they parked at the exit would be removed only after the journalists had deleted the pictures.
Invited
They complained that journalists were not invited to the event. They suspected that their intention was not to cover the event but to investigate a certain case involving the groom.
Superintendent Wendy Hleta, Police Public Relations Officer, had to telephone her colleagues at Malkerns Police Station to liberate the reporters, who had stood their ground, adamantly refusing to delete the pictures.
Police managed to free the reporters before the camera could be seized by the rowdy bunch of ‘well-wishers.’ There were no reported cases of assault.
President of the Swaziland National Association of Journalists (SNAJ) Mfanukhona Nkambule condemned the harassment of journalists.
He urged the relatives of the newly-weds to respect the Bill of Rights and the constitutional right of the journalists to serve the nation with informative updates and essential details beyond their experience.
He said it was illegal to interfere with the duties of the journalists.
Condemned
Afterwards, the groom condemned his in-laws for harassing the journalists.
Before the arrival of the police, Dlamini had sent a messenger to inform his in-laws to allow the scribes to do their job.
He said he was not aware the journalists had been kicked out of the wedding arena and were being harassed outside.
Meanwhile, Dlamini said he was not, at the moment, prepared to explain what really happened to him in the morning. He said he would talk about the matter at a later stage.
