When King Mswati unleashed his police officers to arrest Mbongeni Mamba of Gilgal who bravely fought BeManti(King’s ritual men) for invading his home, I was reminded of the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest King of the ancient Babylonian Empire who was opposed to God.
Like King Nebuchadnezzar who created his own statue god and forced his subjects to submit and pray to it, Mswati has been systematically forcing citizens to submit to his BeManti who are normally commissioned to the Indian Ocean to fetch water for ritual or witchcraft purposes.
King Nebuchadnezzar arrested three(3) men Meshack, Shadrach and Abednigo for refusing to submit to the authority of his god, they were sentenced to death as the King ordered that, they must be burned alive.
But the three men were saved by God who, according to the Bible, was seen walking majestically inside the fire protecting Meshack, Shadrach and Abednego.
Like Nebuchadnezzar, King Mswati unleashed Siphofaneni police officers to arrest Mbongeni Mamba of Gilgal for merely fighting BeManti who invaded his home and kidnapped his children, the King did all this in complete violation of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
It is surprising to note that, King Mswati who was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ about two(2) weeks ago at Mandvulo Hall-Lozitha Palace, subsequently unleashed BeManti(ritual men) to terrorize innocent citizens in the name of culture.
The conduct of BeManti has nothing to do with our culture as emaSwati but, King Mswati is literally practicing witchcraft in broad daylight, forcing citizens to submit to the authority of his gods.
In fact as mentioned, Mswati is systematically behaving like the then King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Empire who forced citizens to submit to the authority of his god, the only difference being that, Mswati is a Pharisee and/or a Christian by the day and an alleged witch by the night.
It is a outright and gross violation of human rights to force citizens to submit to your god just because you are a King,BeManti must go to the Indian Ocean to fetch water for Mswati’s alleged witchcraft without terrorizing citizens.
Mswati must be free to host his Incwala and dance to his god as the constitution promotes freedom of religion but, unleashing alleged royal witches(Bemanti) to invade people’s homes and force citizens to submit to the authority of another god, is a violation of human rights.
On the other hand, Mswati must allow us to dance to our Almighty God without being forced to submit to the alleged witches we know as BeManti,we have no spiritual connection with them and they must leave us alone and continue with their witchcraft.
Mswati must know that he doesn’t have any authority over our spiritual beings,that he even imposed a Special Day known as “Incwala Holiday” to demonstrate respect for his gods, does not mean all us must submit to this withcraft nonsense.
We will not allow a ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ in this country to rule supreme and violate our right to freedom of religion, Mswati must practice his witchcraft without violating human rights.
