Swaziland not a mad country in some unstable state

Sir,

I was compelled to search out Swaziland; a country which I must admit has never particularly interested me, after watching a short film about Swazi Nationalism from a Netherlands broadcaster.

What a refreshing view of your country. What I knew about Swaziland mostly circled around the absolute monarchy and so called liberators running around like chickens with no heads.
If one was to believe most of what we hear of Swaziland, one would think it is a mad country in some unstable, revolutionary state.

I must admit my view was totally transformed after this report.
Now I understand much about the Swazis and really saw that this is a different face of Swaziland, especially the Rooney!

It is not just me, but several of my friends are now considering Swaziland as the favourable place to station ourselves during the 2010 World Cup tournament.
See you in 2010!

Morgan,
I am sure the Minister of Tourism, Macford Sibandze will be delighted to read your letter; he has been going around the world preaching this very positive message about Swaziland, and there are many others who have been pleasantly surprised at what they have learned about this country. Indeed, come visit, and experience the true royal experience, and the true beauty and tranquility of this beautiful country.
Editor.

Oh sure, SD is a swell place when you have loads of Euros and take no time to see or understand how the majority of the people live. Take a look at SIPAs information and you'll see that SD is considered the "Switzerland of Africa"- and be sure to remember that's exactly the phrase Rwandan tourism use for their own country before the madness erupted. Now tell me there's no marketing/PR company behind this letter? The royal family has money to fabricate anything - including weapons to silence the people!

You are most welcome. A lot of Swazis are well well travelled and well read. As i write this letter im writing it at a very prestigious graduate school in the UK. So come in all your numbers. its a pity i would be a volunteer in 2010 to show our guests our country but unfortunately I will be holed up here possibly finishing my dissertation. But honestly speaking besides what we are done by the Royal Family, which in effect is shooting itself in the foot, we are a very sane and peace loving nation. Except we have a thorn. the royal family. Im also part of the Dlamini political dynasty but i dont like what is happening because the current King will just make the unthinkable where there will be no King in swaziland. once there is that then there will kind of be no swaziland. Because the swazis from at least as late as 1750 Dlamini III settled in what is now called swaziland. If there was Dlamini the third you can obviously tell there were other kings long wat back. Now this guy wants to ruin what we have always treasured and it pains us. Because my own father fought in the second world war. My grand father fought in Mshadza war and they fought for me to have my freedom. For someone to monopolise the kingship and make it his own alone and his wifes and the spoilt children is just heart breaking if not downright rude in our Swazi culture. His father had a profound respect for the ordinary Swazis. of course he had his own problems he was very clever at the time though. Mswati has just taken what was fought for by my father to be his and his wifes alone and a few retarded cronies who are hellbent to milk away money for the nation. For me there is no other country i want to be in except Swaziland. For that i will simple fight if i see that i have no choice what i only have is being taken away and i will be left with nothing. The Western countries do not want us in their countries and understandably so. The South Africans do not want us either. beause we take high positions when we get to SA and that swazis are not pompous but well read. So come in numbers. Its not that we dont see what Mswati is doing, we see we are just waiting for a moment and it shall come when we tell him that if you do not want to be King abdicate we will simply appoint a regent who will take over from your child. Luckily he cannot chose who his successor will be. The Dlaminis choose. Its a long and verifiable process under swazi law and custom. All that will be lost if this guy continues with his nonsense of not listening to the masses. i rest my case.

I never knew about Swaziland until 2006 when my country held the Commonwealth Games and I was one of the Volunteers. After hearing about how beautiful your country is and seeing it in a movie I now wish to visit Swaziland. In fact it is now my goal to come over. (hopefully when the World Cup is on)

Iagree, Swaziland is a good choice, an equally good choice is to stay at the Foresters Arms at Mhlambanyatsi.
