SWAZILAND SHOULD ALIGN HERSELF

Sir,

When the current year ends and you see that you have failed to attain your ambitions, you wait prayerfully hoping the next year would be much better than the dying one already. We are looking forward to many things in 2018, growing economy, new prime minister and the elections.

As we are looking forward to 2018, fear is hovering like a sinister bird too. The elections are drawing closer and closer. If one ponders, they wonder if their relatives will be targeted for rituals. And some have started to disappear and appear mutilated and dead. This is not the only fear; the uncertainty whether my daughter, or neighbour’s son will return from school, or they will be abducted, murdered and used to gear up for the upcoming elections. Swaziland what has eroded humanity and compassion so much?

I am also wondering if South Africa has attained the junk status, what is going to happen to our ailing Lilangeni? It is intriguing perhaps that after so many years since independence, we are still dependants. I want to say we entrusted our economy in the  wrong people; people who want to enrich themselves. They draw big salaries from government, yet the country isn’t going forward.

Enough about my whining; the big boss said he was ready for another term in office. I would be very sad if the prime minister could garner another term of office. He should go home; it is time for him to enjoy the hefty perks he has given himself while in office. Please, the guy has worked for the country and himself diligently and we are grateful. There is no man ever who has achieved what the prime minister has achieved in the kingdom. I liked the way he captained the ship during Waya Waya. 

Swaziland can’t afford to be a one man’s show; we really need another captain. This country will never go forward because of corruption, nepotism and greed. It is really undesirable to be a Swazi; that is why I don’t believe that the EBC is relevant. It is one way of misusing our resources. I don’t believe that Swazis in South Africa would like to be subjects of Swaziland.
We need change; only a few people are enjoying the resources of our beautiful country. If we want to move forward Swaziland should re-align herself.

One can only wait and hope that Swazis will wake up and re-embrace Somhlolo’s dream. And we can also hope that the brutal ritual killings will be a nightmare of the past in these coming elections.
