MBABANE:Former South African President Jacob Zuma says, eSwatini is very lucky to be ruled by his son-in-law(uMkhwenyana).
Mswati is the husband to Inkhosikati Nomcebo Zuma,the daughter to the former South African President.
Speaking during the Beginning of Year Prayer at Lozitha Palace on Saturday, Zuma thanked Mswati for preserving peace in the tiny Kingdom, he said unlike South Africa,eSwatini has a few cases of violent political and other crimes.
“Eswatini is very lucky to be ruled by this King who also prioritizes prayer for the Nation”, he said.
But eSwatini is an absolute Monarchy, political parties are banned from participating in elections while human rights defenders are arrested, tortured or killed for demanding democracy.
