Taking in the sycophantic praise (from his extended family and forces) before he speaks.
#BoycottSibaya

He says you do not read the Constitution.

That is why you marched and delivered petitions.

You do not read.😂😂😂

He says the protests were "evil". He says "buSathane".

And accuses protesters of having been responsible for the killings.

I'm only listening because I must work. But yoh!💔

He's denying that he ever left. He's also denying that he ordered his forces to kill people.

Wonders if those saying these smoke weed.

Takes the government line: condemns the burning of property. Says he is hurt.

Warns people to STOP THIS.

He says he is a king that listens to scientists.

That is why he never came out to address the people.

He says Covid-19 is still around.

He also says eSwatini had conquered the virus. But, now, protesters have brought it back.

He says nothing can be fixed while people are still upset.

He says people must calm down first.

He says, in many words, that progressive voices must be stopped. Says they cannot be allowed to mobilise people.

He says eSwatini people are known for "respect".

Extols the virtues of Sibaya.

Now talking about SADC's Troika and their role.

Says they invited them over. Says he's grateful. Says they're assessing the situation because tidlam'lilo (protesters) messed things up.

Says Troika is not here to mediate. They're here on a fact-finding mission.

Says the educated must know the difference.

Explaining the role of SADC Troika to idiots. And the idiots is civil society organizations and progressive movements.

Brags that the SADC Troika team is present.

That they are in fact in the cattle byre as he speaks.

Says he's grateful that the SADC team is present. Says that's great!

With a smirk on his face, he says they were surprised to learn that there were now similar protests in neighboring South Africa.

Condemning that too.

He says this must be contained, these protests.

He says it is enough that is has happened in eSwatini and South Africa. That it shouldn't extend to other parts of the region.

He says he constantly talks with his South African counterparts.

He says they're all standing.

The cost of the damage of the past few weeks is at R3 billion, he says.

He says even insurance companies will struggle to deal with this.

Now announcing a fund called the "Reconstruction Program".

Invites the nation to contribute.

He says banks must be assisted.

So, contribute!

So that the economy can pick up.

He says government will contribute R500 million.

He says this is not enough. People must contribute.

"Baphose litje esivivaneni..."

Keeps talking about the destruction of property. Blames people he won't mention by name. Hints that they don't think.

"Messing up structures built for many years in two days."

He says the economy will be back up!

He also says the nation will get a chance to speak in the Sibaya. But not today.

No. Not today. There is still Covid-19.🤣😂😂

Mandvulo was his "boy".

Bemoans his demise "due to Covid-19".

Looks like he'll be announcing a Prime Minister now.

Someone who'll guide the country towards economic recovery...

He says he prayed and asked God to guide him appoint the right man...

He says your new Prime Minister is Cleopas Dlamini.

😂😂😂

Praise singing.

Lemme go make coffee.

Ng'yabuya.

He says he was formerly with the Public Service Pensions Fund.

He says he is his appointee and in him he believes. And will be sending him here and there. And will revive the economy.

He is done.

Those present will go eat now.
