LOBAMBA:Themba Masuku,the former Deputy Prime Minister(DPM) says Incwala unites emaSwati adding that no one can separate them from the King.

Masuku was addressing the media on Thursday outside Sibaya at Ludzidzini Palace during the ongoing Little Incwala ritual ceremony, hundreds had gathered at the Palace for the ceremony.

“EmaSwati are united and even if they can try to come between us,they won’t succeed”,said the former DPM.

Reached for comments on Thursday evening,Brian Sangweni,the Spokesperson of eSwatini’s main political party,the People’s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO) said, “it’s not true”that Incwala unites emaSwati as emaSwati subscribe to different religions.

”It’s not true,emaSwati are diverse and they subscribe to different religions, some are Christians while some are Muslims.Those who support Incwala call it a prayer so not all emaSwati goes to attend this so called prayer.In short, Incwala is not uniting emaSwati because emaSwati are diverse in their religious beliefs”, said the PUDEMO Spokesperson.
