OPINION:King Mswati’s Tinkhundla undemocratic regime in the political Intensive Care Unit(ICU),now surviving from hand to month as health crisis worsens.

Saturday, 12th October, 2024

With almost all the critical institutions of the State in crisis,the Tinkhundla undemocratic regime is now in the political Intensive Care Unit(ICU) and chances of survival or recovery are very slim.

The education,health and fire sectors have literally collapsed of course, with demotivated and financially broke civil servants.

But on Thursday, Health Minister Mduduzi Matsebula invited journalists to take him pictures while he was off-loading a small truck with some equipment,in yet another systematic staged political propaganda as the health crisis worsens.

Matsebula appeared to be solving a life threatening situation after kidney failure patients approached journalists of this Swaziland News raising an alarm and this, was after the Ministry of Health told them that, they won’t receive medical treatment amid shortage of drugs and working equipment.

That patients have started to desperately contact journalists is a crisis on its own, patients must visit health institutions with confidence that they will receive health-care but, that is no-longer the case in this country.

Health Minister Mduduzi Matsebula was merely playing politics by inviting journalists when off-loading those few small boxes,very soon the dialysis shortage of equipment problem will erupt again.

In fact, that was a desperate move by the regime to blind and mislead the people as if enough working equipment and drugs have arrived, the health crisis is deeper than we can imagine and this regime in the political ICU.

In fact this regime has been for years,surviving through the alleged ignorance of those who oppose it,some of these Tinkhundla critics fight this autocratic government but, they normally stagger whenever the political ground becomes fertile to enable them to overthrow this undemocratic regime and take over the country.

Now, key State institutions that are the pillars of any country being the health and education have collapsed, not to mention the Fire Department.

This means if another political unrest could erupt with protesters burning structures again, the country is not well equipped to control that situation except to use guns in killing innocent protesting civilians.

I sometimes see political activists shouting “Viva” and ask myself if they understand that, what they have been fighting for is already in their hands.

A majority of emaSwati are financially broke, angry and frustrated and they know that King Mswati’s regime is the source or their plight, all they need now is proper and reputable leadership to usher them into a new democratic dispensation.

I am saying this because as the editor,I interact with almost everyone including the State Intelligence Unit where I normally monitor and source confidential State information, I am privileged to know things that others don’t know, that’s the privilege of being an investigative journalist.

This country is in serious trouble because almost everyone is angry and frustrated against the same Tinkhundla regime, others are working for the same Government but they are against it hence the leaking of sensitive information.

But,let me once again appeal for a political dialogue to resolve the ongoing political crisis, our country is being destroyed because King Mswati is the only human being with a monopoly to think in this country, Government exist to please him.

Before the health system collapsed, Mswati constructed his own Manzana Royal Hospital and further established a Fire Department within his Palaces,emaSwati are on their own as the socio-economic situation worsens.

King Mswati has literally destroyed this country, the Tinkhundla regime will never announce that it has collapsed, only the intelligent will analyze that based on the collapsed critical State institutions.

King Mswati.
