MBABANE:King Mswati allegedly approved Prime Minister Russell Mmiso Dlamini’s request for a Cabinet reshuffle, a very senior Cabinet source told this publication.
It has been disclosed that, the King advised the Prime Minister to wait for at least two (2) years after the appointment of the current Ministers to fully understand his team before considering a Cabinet reshuffle.
But the looming Cabinet reshuffle is highly expected to elevate some MPs and Senators to the Cabinet status, some Ministers will then move from the Mbabane Hospital Hill Cabinet Offices and become Parliament backbenchers.
Efforts to seek a comment from Acting Government Spokesperson Thabile Mdluli proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.
Responding to this Swaziland News on Tuesday, King Mswati’s Spokesperson said, he was not aware of what the King and the Prime Minister discussed behind closed doors.
“We are not aware.We want to believe that if indeed the King and the Prime Minister met over this issue, it was behind closed doors away from our eyes and ears,” said the King’s Spokesperson.
