HOSEA: “Just forget about using Parliament to remove King Mswati from power”.
These were the sentiments of Sakhile \'Awviva\' Nxumalo, the President of the People’s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO) Youth League, the Swaziland Youth Congress(SWAYOCO).
Addressing Hosea residents on Tuesday, the vibrant young political leader said the Senate was dominated by Mswati’s appointees adding that even if the House of Assembly could take a decision, it could be overruled by the Senate being the upper House.
“Senate is dominated by King’s appointees, so even if the House of Assembly could take a decision, it could be overruled by Senate. But above that, even if the entire Legislators could take a decision, the King could sit with the Attorney General(AG) and overrule Parliament after receiving legal advice. That House is not for us Yindlu Yaba-YeSkhulu,”said SWAYOCO President.
Nxumalo was speaking in an event where Hosea residents had gathered to feast on meat after Sicelo Mngomezulu, the lawyer representing incarcerated pro-democracy Members of Parliament(MPs) donated a bull to young girls who were not to able to attend the Umhlanga ceremony.
