ARE TINKHUNDLA STILL EFFECTIVE?

Sir,

Can emaSwati reclaim their country from this hopelessness? We currently have a wobbled (due to lack of a better word) country that today is sad and regrettable and not the position or state the country should be in. This is a country of endless tears and misery.  It is a country that best typifies human failure. It is a country that the failure of humanity and it’s case is worsened by the loss of hope that things may ever get better. It is so sad that a majority of emaSwati don’t even know where their next meal will come from. There is no reason to see this country in the  state it is in today. Contemporary, Eswatini politicians, and the so called godfathers, share many characteristics with African slave merchants who worked as collaborators with their European counterparts during the Trans Atlantic slave trade.

Captured

While the slave trade may have ended, neo - colonial slave trade is now co-ordinated by the leadership and political slave merchants in Eswatini who have captured their people, enslaving them and cornering their collective patrimony and only return pittance to the enslaved. Eswatini political slave merchants are working with the clergy in churches, traditionalists and communal godfathers to put their people in chains. We are currently witnessing different dimensions of slave trading ?. Demonstration of slavery is a system in which the people are manipulated, duped, coerced by political merchants to enthrone themselves and set the people to the journey of no return of underdevelopment and penury. Under Tinkhundla, provision of water, healthcare, education, good roads, and good living, have entered a symbolic ‘door of no return’ as making these a reality has been delivered in falsehood even under this current government.

Experiences

The victimisation, experiences suffered by emaSwati have produced and continue to manifest political slave merchants who continue to trade with the destinies of the people with internal collaborators or home grown political godfathers who use their people to trade and enrich themselves while their people suffer. They say we are free, but everyone is in chains in Eswatini. Underdevelopment is the best word to describe the ruins found in Eswatini. The slave merchants have run this country down. Despite Eswatini’s present poor ratings in leadership quality, corruption, unemployment, health, education and poverty, political slave merchants with their collaborators are repositioning themselves on how to consolidate new forms of capturing narratives.
