“The so called “United for the Final Push” by political formations may actually end up translated a “Fragmentation for the final collapse” of these formations in the country. The contradictions within their ranks are glaringly in the open. EmaSwati are no longer prepared to be used as pawns and foot soldiers in yet another theatre of deadly episodes as seen on June 29, 2021. EmaSwati in their entirely; must reject the idea of using them as fire kindles, tinkhuni tekubasa umlilo’, which will leave the country in a traumatic state again,” reads the statement in part.

The Government Spokesperson said the attempts by the political formations of engineering a second episode of the June 29 unrest, may continue to pose serious danger to the lives and properties of emaSwati. 

“The future of our children will further be stolen again by marauding gangs whose identities remain unknown. Finally, Government takes this opportunity to urge the Nation to stay away from the proposed June 29 activities. It is obvious that if these planned activities go ahead, peace and the rule of law will be compromised as such,” reads the statement released by the Government Spokesperson.
