PM AMBROSE, FAMILY NO-SHOW AT JC

MBABANE – His appointment came as a surprise to members of the Jesus Calls Worship Centre, but hopes were high that he would attend the service yesterday, something which did not happen.

Newly-appointed Prime Minister Ambrose Dlamini, a member of Jesus Calls Worship Centre, did not show up for the service yesterday.
Neither did members of his family make it to the church service.

Dlamini, who is an active member of the church, was expected but in vain as per the norm. He usually attends the morning service, which begins at 8am until 10am.

 Absent

Chairperson of the church Musa Mdluli said Dlamini was a God- fearing man, who always communicated in case he would be absent from church.
Mdluli said yesterday, nothing had been communicated and they did not know his whereabouts. “It is the first time that he has not shown up for church or communicated to us his whereabouts,” said Mdluli.

He said Dlamini’s appointment came as a surprise to them, especially after media speculation on a number of potentials.
According to Mdluli, they were not expecting Dlamini to change now that he was the country’s premier, but were optimistic that would continue coming to church when possible.

Mdluli said the church would continue to pray for him on the responsibilities that had been given to him. As a church, he said they were putting their trust in God that He would be with him throughout the journey.  

“The church also encourages him to continue being prayerful and never forget God in any situation. If he will hold onto God, everything will be possible including taking the country forward,” Mdluli said.

He said he believed the Almighty’s hand was upon congregants at JC Worship Centre, who were taking up leadership positions.
Others include Senate President Pastor Lindiwe Dlamini.

Swaziland Conference of Churches President Stephen Masilela said the Christian fraternity had been praying for God-fearing people to take up leadership positions before elections.

“Our prayers have been answered, that the head of government is someone who fears the Lord and who is born again,” Masilela said.
Appointing
Masilela commended the King for his wisdom in appointing Dlamini, especially because he had sought direction from the public at large.
He said they were very much excited when Dlamini was announced as the country’s new PM.

According to Proverbs 29 verse 2 Masilela said; “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn.”
Masilela said they were expecting Dlamini to make the people happy. He said it showed that His Majesty’s wish to involve the people to have a say in the appointment of the PM in the country, which was the first of its kind, was to make them content.
