NEW PM UNDERGOES KUBUTSEKA, NAMED ‘SIBAYA’

LOZITHA – Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Eswatini Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini has been christened with the name ‘Sibaya’.
This occurred over the weekend when he underwent the traditional initiation (kubutseka) into one of the King’s regiments.

The traditional name was revealed by the PM when he introduced himself to the parliamentarians before His Majesty King Mswati III.
Sibaya literally means that he was given the name because he was the first PM to be chosen at Sibaya (cattle byre) after he made his submissions on improving the economy before the King and nation.

The premier informed the legislators that they each had only three minutes to introduce themselves before the King and also give solutions on how the country’s economy could be turned into a prosperous one.
“These before you, Your Majesty, are the parliamentarians from each chamber and they are all very excited to be in front of you, especially because they are the ones who have on their shoulders, the task to deliver on Vision 2022,” said Dlamini.

He said this was the first Parliament that was expected to take the country to First World status.  The premier said all the arms of government, including the Judiciary, needed to work together.  He said he was fortunately able to articulate what he wanted to say at Sibaya when he made his presentation.

“As parliamentarians and various government ministries, you are expected to contribute meaningful ideas that will take us to First World Status,” said Dlamini.
He gave the example of Singapore, a country he said at one point was forced to import water from Malaysia, but said nowadays it was one of the leading economies of the world.

“This is a great challenge, but I can assure you that it is possible to achieve it,” said Dlamini.  Again he recapped the manner in which the Parliamentarians were expected to address the King.
