I was misunderstood - Princess Sikhanyiso

MBABANE – Princess Sikhanyiso has prophesied that King Mswati III will have a long and successful reign.

The King’s eldest daughter delivered this prophecy during the Garden Party at the King’s birthday last Friday.

In her website, Princess Sikha-nyiso describes herself as a teacher, pastor, evangelist, pro-phet and apostle.

"Princess Sikhanyiso was anointed by Prophet Joe Rivera of Puerto Rico as teacher, pastor, evangelist, prophet, and apostle. Often times, she sings and raps praise and worship. Her passion is to make disciples for Christ who will walk in holiness and in the fullness of the spirit," the website states.

The princess’ latest prophecy was unveiled in lyrical form during a performance at the glamorous event. "Utolibusa lelive, ulibuse kahle, uliphatse kahle, ulicondzise," the prophecy states.

Loosely meaning ‘You will rule this country, you will rule it well, you will take good care of it and you will set it straight’.

Yesterday afternoon, Princess Sikhanyiso stated that this prophecy was her gift to the King on the occasion of his 44th birthday.

The princess said she was, however, disappointed that some people who were present during her performance misunderstood parts of it and identified the wrong parts as the prophecy.

"I basically performed two tracks on the night. The first one contained the prophecy to His Majesty and the second one was a collaboration with Zuluboy which had no special relevance to the King’s birthday," Princess Sikhanyiso said.

She said the song she sang with Zuluboy is a song that they composed in 2010.

Princess Sikhanyiso said they had never had an opportunity to perform the song together since it was composed which is why they took the opportunity to perform it at the Garden Party.

She, however, said even in that song, those who interpret it to mean that she was saying war is coming to Swaziland took a few lyrics out of context.

The lyrics which were misinterpreted as saying that a war is coming to Swaziland said, "Hlanganani niyobikela abangakezwa ukuthi nayimpi iyeza".

(Get together and go tell those who haven’t heard, that war is coming.)

Princess Sikhanyiso said these lyrics were not meant in their literal sense.

She said what they were trying to highlight was the importance of the collaboration between a Swazi national and a Zulu national.

"With these lyrics we were saying that the collaboration between Zuluboy and myself would produce something explosive so we were calling on people to tell everyone else that something deep was coming.

"In hip hop, we make statements like that. It is like saying you are going to bring the house down; you don’t mean you are going to bring it down literally," she said.

Princess Sikhanyiso said the collaboration was put together by senior Prince, Africa Zulu, of Onk-weni Royal House who thought it would be a brilliant idea to merge Swazi and South African music as a means to promote oneness between both nations and enhance cultural exchange.

 

"The Arts and Culture department has been very helpful regarding this project as well. Specifically, Bongani Mamba has played an active role, with the mandate from the minister, of course," Princess Sikhanyiso said.

...apologises to nation

MBABANE – His Majesty King Mswati III’s eldest daughter, Princess Sikha-nyiso, has apologised to anyone who may have been alarmed by the misinterpretation of her lyrics.

In an interview yesterday afternoon, the princess, affectionately known as Pashu, said she was ‘upset’ that some people who saw her performance last Friday misinterpreted her lyrics and in the process alarmed the rest of the country by saying that she had prophesied that war was coming to Swaziland.

"I have not done anything wrong, but I feel I have to apologise to the nation for being misunderstood in such a manner. I never said that war is coming to Swaziland. I respect life so much, I would never wish for war," Princess Sikhanyiso said.

 

She said she was hurt that for the past few days people have been viewing her as some sort of troublemaker when in actual fact her lyrics had no political undertones whatsoever.

"I am not mad. I would never have said that war is coming on the very day that the King said there would be no bloodshed in Swaziland," Princess Sikhanyiso said.
