GOVERNMENT PLAYING WITH FIRE

Sir,

As we move forward, then looking forward is a very deadly game that the current circus government can play. Authentic as it is that our government is led by a very academically brilliant person, I have, however, come to realise that being academically capable does not make one to be socially brilliant. I look back to the mid 1990s when the once feared Jan Sithole was calling the shorts and was almost worshiped as a Mandela of the day. Those were the days when the whole country came to a standstill and the wrath of the people was felt by almost everybody in the country.

I read with great pain the news that “NO PAY RAISE FOR CIVIL SERVANTS.” I first thought that maybe it’s an April fool prank but, I since realised that no it’s a reality.

wants to experiment

 I asked myself if at all someone somewhere wants to experiment what we went through during the mid 1990s. It was a terrible experience. I can almost bet my balls that sooner than we can imagine, we shall experience the same. Why on earth would someone remain so stubborn and arrogant to an extent that he would sacrifice the country for his personal gain?

Why the civil servants are not awarded the deserved raises in their very meagre salaries. The reason is becoming so clear that the main thing why emabandla  are getting their salary increases is simply because someone will be retiring very soon and will be joining the same emabandla,  so automatically, he won’t feel the pinch of being out of work and his benefits will continue to accrue. This egocentric government is really setting up the whole nation against our good leader – His Majesty the King.
They forget that our leader is younger than them and when they are all dead, He will remain with the very same oppressed people. I can almost say boldly that this government hates our leaders.

orchestrating anarchy

They pretend as if they love our leaders and yet they are sawing the seat our leaders are sitting on. Someone somewhere is orchestrating anarchy in the nation.  It’s only a pity that he will be identified very late when the damage has already been done and repairing it will be an uphill battle.
We have already celebrated our 50/50 and that tells us that this is a very special year to us as Swazis. We do not need any uprisings, any strikes, and any trouble from anybody. All we need is a peaceful year as we celebrated the coming of age of our benevolent leader and the freedom from colonial rule.

The crux of the matter is that we should be praying and thanking our Almighty God for having been with us to this far and thanking Him for all the good he has done for this country. However, we are still reeling from shock that there won’t be any increments for the poor majority. Why is this so? My guess is that this celebration which was supposed to be celebrated with great enthusiasm was celebrated on an angry note. Yes because we are hungry, we went there to line up for the free food but deep in us we were bleeding in our hearts.

It is now evident even to a lay man person that government hates our leader. If government loved our leader, all these bad things it does would be none existent. I once again appeal to the next prime minister and government to restore the confidence of the people.
I am really tired of this gullible government.

I can only pray for a very sensible government to liberate the majority of the marginalised Swazis and I am praying that may God punish this government for all the misdeeds. It is only a pity that there are those who claim to be pastors serving in this government, but at least I now know that they are not what they claim to be.
