Swaziland Far From Reaching First World Status, Joke's On Who?

King Mswati's goal was for his country to reach First World Status by 2022, and now it seems that the likelihood of that happening is very low. Since everything he says is considered right and true, being umlomo longacambi manga or the mouth that never lies, it's almost funny to see the country as developed as he said it would be. With that in mind, is the joke on King Mswati or on the people of Swaziland at this point?



Blurry




It’s one thing having an objective and keeping it to yourself. It’s another thing telling the world your goals and then failing to live up to them. Here we are in a situation where the king seems to have been less than accurate concerning the destiny of his nation. Whether we are to say he was mistaken or whether he was in fact misleading the people, that’s a discussion on its own. The fact remains, Swaziland is not even close to becoming a first-world nation.


It’s not enough to talk about your goals. It’s necessary for one to take the necessary steps to achieve those goals. What has the king done to make sure his country develops at a rate that would have seen Swaziland become a developed nation in 2022? The actions determine whether one's goals are fulfilled or not, talking doesn’t really achieve anything. You can talk about a vision all you want, but as long as you aren’t working towards making that vision a reality, you’re just playing games. 

Perspective




He was called a visionary when he came forward with it. He was hailed as a king that wants the best for his people and his nation. When the lion roars, nobody can dare to question it. Little did anyone know that poverty would still be rife in the kingdom, with no hope of serious development anytime soon.


There are many issues in Swaziland. The cost of living is unbearable for many emaSwati. The economy isn't doing too great. Hundreds of thousands of emaSwati are jobless, the people don't benefit much from the abundance of natural resources in the country. There was just no way Swaziland was going to reach First World Status at the rate at which things were being done.



Do you think the joke is on the people of Swaziland or on King Mswati? Is there any way the king’s vision may still be possible or is it simply out of reach at this stage? Would you believe anything else the king might promise in the future? Expose your thoughts in the comments below, share with a visionary, and FOLLOW FOR EVERYTHING SWAZILAND!

Open Letter To Swaziland's Royal Family

Your Majesties, I know the current regime in the Kingdom of Swaziland puts food on your plate. I know you get money from the government and you enjoy privileges beyond the reach of the average liSwati. Be that as it may, I implore you to look at the situation in the country right now. Do you want to have a place in the new, free, and democratic Swaziland? Then I urge you to conspire against the head of your house, the one you call Mswati. P ick a Side We want to applaud Princess Dlalisile for ignoring the usual script given to members of the royal family. Y ou have done well for expressing your concern over the people that were killed during the two-day protests. I hope comrades recognize your contribution. As for you Prince Sihlangusempi, we urge you to make use of your position in the army for the sake of a mutiny. It is the national security forces that are the king’s last line of defence and we know that if you can convince them to take him down, they just might. Many emaSwati ...

Kellogg’s And The King: A Conflict Waiting To Happen?

Image
Swaziland recently had a national holiday to commemorate the sacred Umhlanga or Reed Dance. While the entire country took the day off in respect of culture, one major company continued operations. It is the norm for companies in the kingdom to have a picture of the King, Queen Mother, and Prime Minister hanging at reception. Our sources, however, indicate that there was no such arrangement on KT's premises at the time of compiling this report. Will the king tolerate this any longer?   Nude Noodles The next phase of the Kellogg's Tolaram project involves expansion into a framework that accommodates cornflakes in the production line. Judging from how the company conducts its dealings, we're left wondering if the enterprise will reach that stage of its development. Business is booming for the Foreign Direct Investment, it sure was a couple hundred million Emalangeni well spent. Rosy as things have been, how will KT handle the heat coming it's way? Corporate responsibi...

From Temptress To Heroine: The Sergeant Cece Story

Image
An army commander had to step down in the Kingdom of Swaziland, all because of a night of passion gone wrong with her.  Sergeant Cece Shongwe is believed to have recorded the commander revealing state secrets, but that’s not the only thing making her problematic. She also claims protestors were burned alive by soldiers. Now, she’s on the run, and some are calling her a  Delilah , while some are hailing her as a heroine. Let’s unpack the Cece story, shall we? Patriotism Or Prostitution? A South African bank account is receiving donations on her behalf. She has gone into hiding in South Africa at this time. Her superiors are out to get her, and she’s now joined the list of political outlaws wanted by the government. There are a few advantages to the situation she’s found herself in though. Although she’s lost her job and any hope of living in Swaziland right now, there are some perks to being Cece. The lady has built quite a fanbase for herself.  On Facebook, she's got...
