JUDGE PHESHEYA, LUTFO GET RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE

LUDZIDZINI – Presentations made by Supreme Court Judge Phesheya Dlamini and Ndzingeni MP Lutfo Dlamini at the Cattle Byre yesterday, received rapturous applause from the nation.

This was during day one of the Sibaya submissions as sanctioned by His Majesty King Mswati III on Wednesday.   
The Ndzingeni MP set the ball rolling when he was the first to be called by the Master of Ceremonies, Indvuna Sifiso Mashampu Khumalo, to address the nation on how the political and economic climate of the country could be improved.

Humour

The MP, as the first speaker, started his submission with some humour about his being the first speaker to be chosen stating that even during his parliamentary campaigns he would in most cases be picked as number one. “This is clearly even the case at Sibaya as the trend continues,” said Dlamini.
Getting down to the real issues at hand, the MP likened the country to an expensive car like a Rolls Royce which was not utilised, but people parked it and instead asked for lifts.

He said if the country could work hand in hand and put God and the King first, it would cover great strides.
He said when the King appointed the next prime minister, it should be a man of great leadership quality.

He said the first issue to be tackled was that the country should produce a lot of quality food. “Let us also go and get involved in farming and that each individual should consume what they have personally ploughed,” said the legislator.

He said tractors should not be utilised by government for its own projects, but instead they should be directed to the people to use them for agricultural purposes.

The MP also said the system which was used to pay the elderly needed to be revised, and cheaper ways to disperse the grants be adopted in order to ensure that they were paid timeously on a monthly basis. “The elderly enjoy working and they could also utilise this money in their farming projects,” said Lutfo.

graduates

Addressing the issue of the thousands of graduates who leave tertiary institutions every year, the Ndzingeni MP said the Royal Science and Technology Park (RSTP) needed to be fully utilised, stating that for now very little work had been done (nyalo sise dlalile).

He said the graduates needed to be taken in by the call centres. The MP also called for the various Tinkhundla centres to be industrialised, stating that this was where the industrialisation needed to start. “If you do not choose me, I wish to invite you to Ndzingeni where this process will start,” said Dlamini.
