RESPECT LEADERS, PEOPLE

KING MESSAGE FOR 2017;

There is nothing as significant as respect in whatever you do. I urge the nation to stick to respect because a person who is without respect is no human and they perish from earth at a tender age just because they lack respect. You must also instil respect to the young ones so that they grow to be responsible members of the society

BAYETHE: Indvuna Vacu Magongo taking instructions from the King to convey to the regiment. This was during the dispersing of the regiment by His Majesty King Mswati III at Ngabezweni Royal Residence on Saturday.

HIS Majesty King Mswati III believes that for people to live longer they must demonstrate respect, especially for elderly people and authorities of the country at all times.

His Majesty made these remarks when addressing thousands of the regiment and the nation at Ngabezweni Royal Residence on Saturday before dispersing Libutfo, the thus marking the official end of the Incwala ceremony. The dispersing of the regiment came after they successfully participated in the Incwala ceremony and later undertook the weeding of Royal fields, which took about two weeks. The King encouraged the regiment and the nation to continue with the good spirit of respect they always display among one another and towards Royal commands and duties.

Bible

His Majesty said respect was key in every sector of the society, especially the young towards the old. His Majesty said those who do not respect perish from the face of the earth early in their lives. The Holy Bible in Exodus 20:12 say ‘Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you’. As if to emphasise this scripture, the King said a person who has no respect for elders and authority of the land does not last long on earth. His Majesty said he noted with appreciation the positive response from the regiment each time there was a royal command, something which he said they must not stop and further encouraged others to practice. He said once a Royal command had been issued, a person has to abandon all they are doing and respond to the command. “There is nothing as significant as respect in whatever you do. I urge the nation to stick to respect because a person who is without respect is no human and they perish from earth at a tender age just because they lack respect. You must also instil respect to the young ones so that they grow to be responsible members of the society,” he said.

Ceremony

His Majesty said the numbers of people who came through each time there were important cultural ceremonies and activities had been impressive, noting

that the attendance was across all the

Imbali, group ages. He said at the Incwala, Ingatja, Lutsango, Lacwebetelako

and Bokhololo were also seen participating “Incwala ayibukelwa, during the ceremony.

I was happy to note that people from across all ages came to participate. This gives hope that the God given culture to the Swazi nation will not perish but be carried forward to future generations. I am sure God in heaven is happy to see us as a Swazi nation gathered in this manner because Incwala is one of the important ceremonies which define us as a nation,” he added.
