HIGH PROFILE GUESTS ATTEND A.T’S SON UMTSIMBA

MBABANE – Just like Sikhumbuzo Shongwe’s wedding, Zwelethu Dlamini’s traditional wedding (Umtsimba) to Sindi Simelane attracted throngs of well-wishers, particularly public figures and royal family members.

The two weddings are comparable in that both men are sons of high profile parents in the country with Shongwe being a son to well-known Bishop Nash Shongwe, while, Dlamini is the one and only child to former head of government, Absalom Themba Dlamini, also known as A.T.

The latter is currently the managing director at Tibiyo Taka Ngwane.
The traditional wedding was held yesterday at Dvumbe area in the outskirts of Sidvokodvo en route to Siphofaneni. The well-organised event was attended by local politicians which included Speaker in Parliament Themba Msibi and royal family members.
Notable was Prince Guduza who is also the Chairman of the Border Restoration Committee.

There were also other influential figures which included Chief Executive Officers like Mbabane City Council’s Gideon Mhlongo and Nhlanhla Dlamini of the Construction Industry Council. National Police Commissioner Isaac Magagula was also in attendance and was seated next to A.T for the duration of the event. Before the start of the wedding, the VIPs relaxed in a specially prepared VIP area.

However, when the event started, they joined the other well-wishers who occupied the main tent while the rest of the public utilised the space next to the tent despite the scorching heat.

When the first group of the bride’s entourage (umtsimba) arrived, traditionalist Qethuka Dlamini was seen by the homestead entrance and was orchestrating the procession to the main arena from the river.Qethuka’s presence also highlighted the significance of the day.
