MBABANE: Princess Sikhanyiso(34) the first born daughter of King Mswati is plotting to grab tenders from ordinary Swazis at the Royal Swaziland Sugar Cooperation(RSSC) and ‘bless’ Siphesihle Dlamini(26) whom she is secretly proposing love to.

This disclosure comes shortly after this Swaziland News reported that the Minister of Information, Communication and Technology(ICT) used taxpayers money to buy a Mercedes Benz worth over E600,000.00 for her other boyfriend Khayelihle Patrick Dlamini, a member of Umbutfo Eswatini Defense Force(UEDF).

On or around December 2020, the Minister was consistently communicating with Siphesihle Dlamini with her mobile number 76060484 plotting to connect  and introduce him to her brother Prince Lindani so they could establish a company together and secure tenders at the sugar company linked to Tibiyo TakaNgwane.

When this Swaziland News sent the Princess a picture of Siphesihle, questioning her about the plot to grab tenders from Swazis at RSSC, she joined the ‘fast lane’ and avoided questions on the matter.

The Princess had previously sent a WhatsApp message complaining to this journalist that this publication had published the costs of her house interior and his other boyfriend Khayelihle Dlamini's Mercedes Benz. It was reported that apart from purchasing the car that cost over E600,000.00 for her military boyfriend, the Minster used taxpayers money to build a home at Sigcineni with an interior that cost over E1.5million. 

“With whom did you verify the costs of my interior or brother’s car Hlubi?”said the Princess in a message sent to this journalist.

Information gathered suggests that the Princess met Siphesihle Dlamini at a gym in Mbabane and she was impressed with his body, soon thereafter, she started proposing love promising him a good life. The Minister had initially planned to connect Dlamini with Prince Lindani after the recent Incwala ceremony.

Efforts to reach Siphesihle proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.

Princess Sikhanyiso has benefitted over E1million in taxpayers money for doing nothing after she boycotted her Cabinet duties pending the removal of the late Prime Minister Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini from power.

It has been disclosed that Siphesihle Dlamini has been avoiding the Princess saying he was Christian and doesn’t want the controversy that comes with dating the King’s daughter.

Reached for comments, Pius Vilakati, the Spokesperson of the Communist Party of Swaziland(CPS) said Princess Sikhanyiso was not only abusing the absolute power she has through her father against the people of Swaziland but she now uses it to satisfy her sexual desires thus abusing men in the process.

"These are the results of absolute power. Princess Sikhanyiso is not only abusing the people of Swaziland but now uses that power to abuse men" he said.
