The king said he received the message during a thunderstorm and immediately decided to stop calling the political structure in his kingdom ‘Tinkhundla’ and to revert to the new title.
If readers
take a moment to look at a dictionary they will find that God’s Words aptly
describe what prodemocracy activists have been saying for years: the king rules
Swaziland as an absolute monarch.
Here’s the
definition of ‘monarch’:
‘One who reigns over a state or territory, usually for life and by hereditary
right, especially a sole and absolute ruler.’
And, this is ‘Monarchical’: ‘Ruled by or having the supreme power resting with a monarch; “monarchical government”’.
And, this is ‘Monarchical’: ‘Ruled by or having the supreme power resting with a monarch; “monarchical government”’.
So there you
have it. ‘Monarchical Democracy’ is exactly what Swaziland has. All power rests
with the king; political parties are banned from taking part in elections; dissenting
voices are crushed.
Readers will
note that God did not say He agreed with King Mswati ruling Swaziland as an
absolute monarch, He merely said that is what the king does.
The question
now is: why did God choose this time, only a couple of weeks before the
national election in Swaziland, to point this out?
