‘ONE CAN LEARN MUCH FROM BACEDE’

MBABANE – Chairman of the Witchdoctors Association Makhanya Makhanya has observed maturity in Hosea MP Mduduzi Bacede Mabuza.

As a result, he said if one was to sit down with Mabuza, there was a lot he could learn from the politician. Mabuza is one of the legislators who are at the forefront in the call for political reforms in the country. The other MPs are Siphofaneni MP Mduduzi Simelane, and Ngwempisi MP Mthandeni Dube. The trio has been calling for the country to have an elected prime minister, not one appointed by His Majesty King Mswati III. This, they stated, was because they believed an elected PM would be accountable to the people. Even though Makhanya declared his fondness for Mabuza, he stated that he was opposed to the removal of the King’s powers to appoint the PM.

Submissions

Makhanya said while following the submissions by Mabuza through different forums, he observed that there was a lot to be learnt from the legislator in terms of politics. In his own words, Makhanya said; “If you can sit Mabuza down, there is a lot you can learn from him as he seems to be understanding what he is talking about.” In vernacular, he said, “Yindvodza Mabuza.” Asked what he really meant when he said Mabuza seemed to understand what he was talking about, Makhanya stated that in as much as the legislator advocated for change, he (Mabuza) had a clear understating that change could not come in a day hence the need for tolerance and patience. This, Makhanya said showed that Mabuza was not fighting to kill anyone but was prepared to dialogue in a manner that could help him and the parties concerned.

“We are talking about a businessman who owns businesses across the country. Judging from his establishment, one could safely say that he can calculate and come up with an answer unlike those who perpetuate anarchy under the pretext of the call for change in the country,” he said. “Kuyabonakala kutsi Mabuza uyakholelwa ekutseni kulesinye sikhatsi kuyaye kubhotjotwane kume tindvuma. Kuyabonakala futsi kutsi uyati kutsi kunesikhatsi lapho kugezwana khona tindvuma bese kuyacolelwana,” he added in vernacular, which can be loosely translated to: “It is clear that Mabuza understands that differences should be ironed out so that people live in harmony no matter how tense a debate may be.” Makhanya said he was not pleased with the manner some church leaders interfered in the call for change. He stated that the language and tone used by some of the church leaders did not show an element of leadership as they seemed to be full of anger and hatred.

Established

It was established that Makhanya had never met Mabuza in his life. It was also gathered that Makhanya followed Mabuza’s statements through the media while Mabuza only saw Makhanya on television and local newspapers.
