‘WOMEN SHOULDN’T MAKE DEMANDS, DISAPPEAR WHEN IT’S TIME FOR SEX’

LOBAMBA – The high rate of domestic violence cases would decrease if women were to stop demanding airtime, drinks then disappear when it’s time to go to bed.

This is an assertion that was made by Member of Parliament Mjuluko Dlamini during the portfolio committee of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office yesterday.
According to Dlamini, many men resort to being violent on their spouses after spending money to spoil them rotten and not being rewarded in the end.

He mentioned that there was a need for the country to work on determining the causes of the many violent cases some of which led to women being killed by their lovers.
“Uyinatse lani lemali yami nangabe ngeke ungiphakele,” Dlamini asked in vernacular.

He emphasised that there was a need for women to be taught how to handle men and not just chow their money and then leave them.
“They want us to buy them airtime and drinks and after we have spent so much they then leave us for other men. This is one of the reasons why they end up being assaulted or murdered by their spouses,” he said.

During the debate, almost all the members of the portfolio committee spent some time calling for interventions regarding domestic violence.
MP Saladin Magagula suggested that government needed to conduct a study to determine the causes of the many violent cases between lovers.

Violence

According to Magagula, the high rate of domestic violence cases was a sign that most Swazis were angry.
