Dear Sun El, Don't Come to Swaziland | OPINION

South African musician Sun El will be in Swaziland for the Farmer's Market on September the 3rd. We want to urge the artist to take into consideration how Makhadzi has been treated in the country before. This is especially in light of the recent and current political unrest. Dear Sun El, don't come to Swaziland or you'll regret, says this publication. 




Don't you Dare


It seems like a relaxed atmosphere to be in. You wouldn't expect any violence to take place at a farmer's market. Surely you don't want bottles thrown around at the Farmer's Market on the 3rd of September? Don't underestimate us as pro-democracy emaSwati, we will show you who we are and what we stand for. 


The event is about promoting agriculture in the country. Lifestyle, fashion, and craft beer are just some of the elements that will be used to achieve that. It's set to be quite a trendy affair, even though agriculture will be at the heart of it all. Sun El has expressed his excitement and said that it won't be the first time being at this kind of an event. 



Where the Sun Doesn't Shine


One of the event organisers, Mbekezeli Dlamini, couldn't hide his appreciation on collaborating with Sun El. "This will help grow our brand as whole, this might just be the start of big things for us,” he said. While it's admirable for local organisers to be doing big things, they shouldn't ignore the possible threat. Those willing to sabotage such events with international artists just to get a point across might attend.


We want Sun El to acknowledge our struggle for democracy. He must know that he is coming to a place where democracy has not been attained. He must understand the possible risks involved when coming here. Some of us don't take kindly to insensitivity.


Do you think Sun El should come to Swaziland? How would you advise him ahead of his performance in the kingdom? Do you think he's being insensitive to the cries of the people? Let us know what your thoughts are, share with a fan of his, and FOLLOW FOR MORE ON SWAZILAND!

Open Letter To Swaziland's Royal Family

Image
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...
