He said inmates who were remorseful of their actions will have their sentences reduced.
Further details of the Royal Pardon will be availed in due course.

“As we are gathered here today, some of our brothers and sisters are incarcerated for the mistakes they did in the past. We, therefore, wish to bring bright smiles to them and their family members and their loved ones. After due consideration, it pleases us to announce a Royal Pardon to grant release of some offenders.

“The details of those who will receive the Royal Pardon will be communicated through the appropriate instrument,” the King said.
“The Monarch implored the nation to welcome the fellow citizens back into society and help them rebuild their lives positively for the benefit of the communities and the country at large.

As he said that the attendees shouted ‘Bayethe! Wena Waphakathi’.
