Swazi Royal Leeches Lifestyle

R720 000 SCHOOL FEES FOR MSWATI’S DAUGHTER

Every year, thousands of Swazi children drop out of school because their parents cannot afford high school fees. On average, school fees cost between R8000 and R10 000 per year and that is too much for most families considering that more than 70% of the population live in poverty.

But for the royal family, that amount is nothing. Below is a picture of one of King Mswati’s many daughters, Temave. She is currently studying at Buckswood School in the United Kingdom. Her school fees per term is £11 350 (R264 000) excluding VAT. For the three school terms per year, her fees are £34 050 (R792 000).

That is almost a million spent on one royal child per year. If that is not obscene, then we dont know what is. And it will not stop until we decide that we are tired of being taken for granted by this family of royal leeches.

Whoever thinks we still need the royal family, needs to have their head examined.

OVER R1 MILLION WATCH FOR MSWATI’S WIFE

In Swaziland, over 70% of the population live in poverty. Youth unemployment, is sky-high and hospitals have no medication.

Yet while the majority struggle to survive, the royal family continues to live in obscene luxury, spending millions on jewellery. In the picture below, one of Mswati’s wives, Carol Dlamini is seen wearing a Cartier Ballon Bleu watch priced at $60 000 (R1 million).

She has never worked a day in her life, yet she affords to spend over R1 million on a single watch, a watch that she flaunts in our faces.

Whoever thinks we still need the royal family, needs to have their heads examined.

HANDBAGS WORTH R77 000 FOR MSWATI’S CHILDREN AGED 10 AND 8

In the picture below, two of Mswati’s children, Nolikhwa (8) and Ntsandvweni (10) are seen carrying identical Dolce and Gabbana Devotion handbags made from 100% calfskin. Each bag is priced at $2 100 (R38 500). That is R77 000 for both bags...bags owned by children.

What does that mean in the real world we live in?

This R77 000 is almost equivalent to the monthly salary of at least 6 nurses. If each employed Swazi supports 8 people (as is usually the case), it means the handbags owned by these children can feed 42 people for an entire month. That is insane!

Why is this family of leeches who feed off our hard earned taxes so rich yet we, the taxpayers are so poor?

We need to fight this. It should not continue.

We need Social Justice now!

R1.1 MILLION EARRINGS FOR MSWATI’S WIFE WHILE HEALTH CRISIS RAGES ON

Last week, patients at Mbabane Government Hospital were turned away because there was no medication and working tools for health workers. Even basic tools like surgical gloves and syringes was out of stock.

A few days later, during a trip to Ghana, Mswati's wife Ntsetselelo Magongo, was seen wearing Jacob & Co Infinia earrings set in 18K White Gold with white round cut diamonds, 9 Pearls, Special Cut Onyx and Special Cut Mother of Pearl. They are priced at $61 500 (R1.1 million).

This is obscene!

In a country where hospitals are collapsing, healthcare workers are overstretched and underpaid and the poor can’t even afford Panado, the royal family is proudly parading luxury jewellery worth more than the annual salaries of more than 10 nurses combined.

How many syringes, bandages or surgical gloves could've been bought with the over R1 million that this woman was wearing in her ears?

This is not just extravagance, it’s cruelty. It is proof that the royal family does not care about the people they rule over. They live in another world, untouched by the suffering of the nation they bleed dry.

How much longer will we let this family of royal idiots continue to flaunt their ill-gotten wealth in our faces while we live in extreme poverty? We need to fight this and we need to fight it now.

Whoever thinks we still need the royal family need to have their heads examined.

R900 000 WATCH FOR MSWATI’S WIFE WHILE OUR GOGOS GET R600 A MONTH

In a country where the elderly survive on just R600 per month, one of Mswati’s wives, Phindile Nkambule is seen wearing a Jacob & Co 'Tiger' watch with white, yellow and black diamonds. It is priced at $50 000 (R900 000).

Almost a million rand on a single watch while our grandmothers are expected to feed themselves, support their families and buy medicine on a laughable R600.

This is not just greed, it’s cruelty. They wear our suffering like a crown, dressing themselves in opulence while we, the majority live in dust and despair. There is no justification, no excuse and no shame in their eyes. They do not care.

This is why we struggle and demand a democratic government that will be accountable to the people.

This is why the monarchy must fall.

For our grandmothers! For our children! For our future!

R400 000 NECKLACE AND BRACELET FOR KING MSWATI’S DAUGHTER WHILE THE NATION STARVES

While the people of Swaziland slide deeper into poverty, the royal family continues to thrive, shamelessly flaunting their wealth in the faces of the starving masses.

In the picture below, one of Mswati’s daughters, Sikhanyiso, is dripping in expensive jewellery from Van Cleef & Arpels. She’s wearing a Vintage Alhambra necklace with 10 motifs priced at $14 000 (R251 000) paired with a matching Vintage Alhambra bracelet with 5 motifs priced at $7 300 (R131 000). The total cost is R382 000.

Just think about it.

One royal parasite is wearing almost R400 000 in jewellery while 70% of the population live in poverty and young people are sitting at home due to lack of scholarships. This R400k could pay annual fees for at least 10 UNESWA students but instead, it is on the neck and arm of a royal parasite.

Whoever thinks we still need the royal family needs to have their head examined.

R1.3 MILLION WATCH ON MSWATI’S DAUGHTER WHILE THE NATION STARVES

The Swazi royal family continues to live in shameless excess, flaunting wealth looted from the very people they oppress.

In the picture below, one of Mswati’s daughters, Temaswati Dlamini, is seen wearing a Jacob & Co Brilliant Skeleton Northern Lights Stainless Steel Blue timepiece priced at $72 000 (R1.3 million).

This luxury watch features a white gold case with 281 round white diamonds.

Meanwhile:

Over 70% of the population lives in extreme poverty.

Thousands of young people are sitting idle at home due to lack of scholarships.

Workers are still begging for a living wage of just R3 500 per month, a demand that continues to fall on deaf ears.

Yet government spares no expense when it comes to royal luxury, making it clear that the lives of ordinary Swazis come second to the comforts of the monarchy.

The time for silence is over. We must unite and fight to end this corrupt and inhumane tinkhundla system once and for all.

Whoever thinks we still need the monarchy, needs to have their heads examined.

MSWATI'S 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WEARS R665 000 WATCH WHILE HOSPITALS HAVE NO PANADO

Today, The Swazi Observer reported that health workers at Mankayane Government Hospital have delivered a petition to the Ministry of Health, raising a number of concerns. These were; the acute shortage of essential medication and supplies, a toxic and unsafe working environment and chronic staff shortages that have left them overworked and overstretched.

They added that the situation is so dire that the hospital has completely run out of basic painkillers like Panado and even gloves to protect nurses and doctors as they do their daily work.

This is what healthcare looks like under royal misrule. There are empty shelves, broken systems and frustrated frontline workers.

Now look at the other picture below.

Mswati’s 13 year old daughter, Sabusiswa Dlamini is wearing a diamond studded Jacob & Co Skull Watch worth $36 500 (R665 000).

Yes, you read that right. R665 000 on a 13 year old’s wrist.

While hospitals can’t afford gloves and patients are sent home in pain, the king's 13 year old daughter flaunts a watch worth more than half a million.

This isn’t just obscene. It’s evil.

No child needs a luxury watch that can stock entire hospital wards with life saving medicine. This is what happens when public wealth becomes a royal toy box.

Swaziland doesn’t have a healthcare crisis. It has a leadership crisis.

Whoever thinks we still need the royal family, need to have their head examined. It is time to end the lies and the looting. It is time to end the monarchy.

MSWATI WEARS R4.2 MILLION WATCH WHILE WORKERS BEG FOR LIVING WAGE

At this year’s Workers’ Day celebration at Salesian Sportsground, Swazi workers led by TUCOSWA once again called for a minimum wage of just R3 500. This was a modest demand and a basic request for dignity. It was not the first time that workes have demanded this minimum wage but government has consistently refused.

Mswati’s government believes workers should survive on less than R3 500 a month. This is no doubt less than the price of one of his shoes.

While denying workers a living wage, Mswati shamelessly flaunts his wealth, rubbing salt into the wounds of struggling Swazis. In the picture below, he’s seen wearing a Graff Chronograph watch valued at $230 000 (R4.2 million).

Just think about it.
One watch = a full year’s salary for over 100 workers if they are paid the minimum wage of R3 500.

This is what workers are up against. It's not just a greedy monarch but a system built to protect royal comfort at the expense of national suffering.

This is theft disguised as tradition.

The demand for R3 500 is not just about money. It is about respect, survival and a better life. And until we dismantle this parasitic monarchy, that better life will remain out of reach for us all.

Whoever thinks we still need this monarchy thing, needs to have their heads examined.

SWAZI ROYAL LEECHES WRITES:

R100 MILLION SPENT ON KING'S BIRTHDAY WHILE HEALTH SECTOR CRUMBLES

Now that the celebrations have ended and the dust has settled, the real cost of Mswati’s 57th birthday is coming to the fore. According to reports, the festivities cost Swazi taxpayers over R100 million. This is a mind boggling amount for a country where poverty runs deep and unemployment is rampant. Was this extravagant celebration really worth it?

Just two days after the extravagant birthday party, public healthcare workers at Mbabane Government Hospital, the country’s largest referral hospital, marched to the Ministry of Health to deliver a petition regarding challenges they face in the workplace. They included doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, ordelies and support staff. They were concerned that the hospital had a serious shortage of essential medication and laboratory and radiology equipment. They also stated that the hospital had turned to a death chamber as many basic medical services had been suspended and the theatre was attending to emergencies only.

These challenges are not the inevitable consequences of a poor country’s meager resources but they are the results of deliberate choices and misplaced priorities. The R100 million spent on a single day of celebration could have been diverted to bolster the country’s collapsing health system. The health workers believed that these are man-made failures caused by a government that places royal comfort above public survival.

It is not only the health sector but students too, that could have benefited from the R100 million. Every year, hundreds of young people are denied access to higher education because they come from poor families and government cannot fund their scholarships. Annual fees at the University of Swaziland average R30 000. The R100 million spent on birthday festivities could have paid the tuition of more than 3 400 students. This could have given 3 400 student a better chance at a better future but the tinkhundla government of Mswati decided to spend it all in one day, celebrating a 57 year old man.

The youth too, were left behind. They youth unemployment rate in Swaziland is around 70 percent. The R100 million could have been used to establish a Youth Development Fund to help young people launch small businesses, build self-sustaining projects and create jobs for themselves and others. Instead, the government chose to lavish resources on a single day that was of benefit to no one but the monarchy itself.

Even in the agricultural sector, the possibilities are numerous. Many families rely on subsistence farming but lack the implements and inputs needed for meaningful production. A portion of the birthday budget could have provided vital support to small-scale farmers and in turn boosting food security and rural livelihoods. It could have strengthened commercial farming, creating employment opportunities in a country desperate for jobs.

In every sector of public life, the needs are urgent and the resources scarce yet the government continues to prioritize the king’s comfort over the people's survival. Officials often refer to it as "His Majesty’s Government," and it’s not just a figure of speech. It is really his government. The machinery of the state serves the monarchy, not the people.

It is time for all Swazis to understand that a government that lavishes scarce public funds into royal ceremonies while hospitals crumble, students sit idle at home and families starve is not a government of the people. It is an instrument of repression and self-interest.

Those who still believe that we need the monarchy, should have their heads examined. For sure kukhona kugula lokubaphetse. Bukhosi likatane lelimunya ingati yemaSwati ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi. Kute lelikuletsako etafuleni. Abasebenti, baphila ngetitfukutfuku temaSwati.

Let's get rid of this family of royal idiots. We do not need them. We can survive without them. They, on the other hand, cannot survive without us.
