CALM PREVAILS AS PM TAKES OATH

LOBAMBA – Calm.  This is one word that could best describe the swearing-in ceremony of the new leader of government business in Parliament.

It was around 3:15pm when the country’s new Prime Minister, Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini, walked into the House of Assembly to officially assume his position as not only an MP, but premier.

Dressed in a simple grey suit and a red tie, Dlamini was as cool as a cucumber when he took up the oath of alligience.
Already escorted by about six police officers, the PM was fetched by Clerk to Parliament from the Parliament corridors and immediately entered the House.
He was not allowed to take a seat until the Attorney General, Sifiso Khumalo ,administered the oath.

His wife, Portia, was allowed to view the proceedings about 10 metres away from him as he promised to serve the King, his heirs and successors.
The calm Dlamini recited the oath after the AG as everyone in the chamber listened to him.
He held on to the Bible and made history as the first none political PM.
