Swazis angered by birthday celebrations - 07 Sept 08

[braveswazichild]

this was last year and in a few weeks we'll bedrifting for an economic state of emergency

[MzCrownProductions1]

Disgusting! They should be ashamed!

[sakhdlam]

If you think the king is bad, you probably don't know what you are talking about. The king cannot work miracles to make swazis rich. So everybody use your minds and think about what you are saying before spitting garbage on you-tube.

[ChrisShaw00]

A further point: the King and Government must take action, educational and medical, over the spread of HIV and Aids, but it is EVERYONE'S responsibility to take precautions. You can't blame the Government because people are irresponsible in their sexual behaviour.

[ChrisShaw00]

Generally, when I lived there in the 70s, the Swazis seemed to be a happy people, and hardworking. It is understandable that the Trade Union rep would be opposed to such lavish expenditure, though I agree it was over the top to buy such a fleet of cars. But I think it is crucial that cultural traditions are maintained, for the benefit of all the people, and Mswati does seem to care about that.

[ChrisShaw00]

Many similar agressive comments were made when the French Revolution was getting under way. And many of the people who made such comments were themselves to end up on the guillotine or knifed in the street. There is a "democratically elected" leader in Zimbabwe whose policies has led to incredible suffering by "his" people, so democracy, certainly not that form, isn't necessarily the way. But Mswati should be more progressive.

YE JAN SITHOLE...comrade !!!!!

[duwenable]

Down with this man and his satanic system.

[vagu14]

Jan Sithole lol

[supreme475]

Ugly Fat Fuck, and no right to call himself King. Disgusting excuse of a human being and should be murdered like the rest of Africa's backward money-hungry leaders.

[supreme475]

UGLY FAT FUCK, should be murdered like the rest of Africas backward money-hungry pig leaders.

[Olekander]

[AdirondackMatt]

I saw seven or eight of his wives this weekend at caesars palace in vegas spending a lot of money in my workplace beatiful women wearing just brand names head to toe.. channel, louis vuitton, swarovski, gucci... it's so sad to see images of Swaziland people...

[swaziPride09]

[crossbow121]

Im afraid it is too little too late .........

[drdlamini]

abanyi yehhe...lifile live letfu......

[4lakeside1]

100% literacy, but 40% HIV +, where is the correlation? Please grow up and stop the damn nonsense. I am an African, it's time for us to move into the 21st century, the rest of the world have left us behinde!

[uls76]

...habari to mfundo  1984, nairobi...

[crossbow121]

.........asimbonanga..........­

[sethken]

@nothingbutdabest22 : there is nothing good to be talked about here. What are you saying. I am an African. This is mere rubbish, and that is why the rest of the world has left us behind, including Asians, and Latin America. We are evil unto ourselves. This absolute monarch in Swaziland should be executed. He reminds me of one Saddam Hussein

[yoSwaziBoy1]

if you have a country with 3 people then one gets aids that means yo shity country has the highest aids rate, ryt?

[johntabbot]

Absolute power is absolute folly.

[chamunda35]

He,s no king, rather a piece of.... that should be killed instantly.What has he done for "his"country instead of wasting money, neglecting "his"people, and of course screwing "his"wifes?

[Sdolwane]

You are insane, this man is talking on behalf of the nation. People are dying in silence, they want to object but are scared and this man is talking on our behalf. You don't need to back up our govt because you want to be liked by top people let alone that you are not affected, ngisesikhulwini and i am loyal to my king and we all all we want is our right live and to express our concerns to our not-performing govt. if we unite and stop pointing fingers at each other we'll succeed.

[ruhanadelsberg]

Ye wena, u khuluma e'masimba! You know the truth! Im also a Swazi..Dont do that! You are the hungry one who cant better his life, why do you think I moved to England... Mine ngfuna imali, mswati usilima! Uyati nawe!

[Sdolwane]

did you see them inject them with aids, you're talking stupid and you need to fill your brain with some common sense. my relatives died of aids and they weren't injected by whites, they got it through unprotected and/or careless sex(nultiple patners).-SWAZI

[mchigubu]

Tomaluta: Your comment is intriguing! What hypocrisy there is out there in our global village. At least, the world now draws its own conclusions on what makes one a "DEMONIZED Dictator" vs. a "SHELTERED Dictator". Where are the sanctions? If reasons we hear for Zimbabwe's sanctions are allegedly due to so called "dictatorship", how come this kind of "dictatorship" is not in headlines? To have 13 wives? Human rights groups where are u? Burying your heads in the sand? Failed foreign policy!

[tomaluta]

IF DA KING TRY TO KICK OUT BRITISH OUT SWAZI

OR SAY NO TO UK INTEREST..HE WILL BE LIKE MUGABE..

WHAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIM AND MUGABE..

mugabe kick farmer out...hahaha lol

[mudkipNDS]

Bhutan is also an absolute monarchy, however unlike the king here in swazihell the bhutanese king is actually pretty good (he actually has an GDH - Gross Domestic HAPPINESS!)

thats what happens when youre an absolute BUDDHIST monarchy

[BregyptianMuslim]

'last absolute monarchy?!' - have you been to morrocco recently?

[fatiham]

Why are you asking about Morocco? I have been there recently !!!nothing special!!Nice and beautiful country !!different than...??what you think.

[mudkipNDS]

i think he's talking about the fact that the government over there pretty much has control over TV, Radio, Phone Lines, Media, and the INTERNET (yes YouTube I believe is blocked there for political reasons)

[Polargoo]

Saudia Arabia is the same thing btw.

It's an Absolute Monarchy.

[alaadamy2]

Saudi Arabia is one of the richest countries in the world. With a much more wealth distribution to its citizens. And, praise Allah, no HIV!

[BregyptianMuslim]

yes beautiful country, but an absolute monarchy, right?

[fatiham]

What's important that we're save in this beautiful country!!! monarchy or no monarchy we're happy with..Fareaway than (9anoun al-ghab).salamu 3alaykum

[sunwing2x]

This is ridiculous. How can so much money and resources be wasted when there are such serious problems in the country?

[uchoo786]

Swaziland needs democracy! We need Jan Sithole!

[timidgothica]

um, I think that the monarchy has to start caring for it's lower class or some sort of brutal rebellion is in store.

[mudkipNDS]

hmmm... you're absolutely right.

remember the boxer rebellion in china (circa 1900)?

[RapidRoulete]

Looks like France before the revolution. However African people tend not to have a tradition of rebelling against their leaders. Where will Swaziland be in 10 years time? Probably in a similar position to today, only the King will be 50.

[Franco20055]

waoo now thats livin, however the king must go and the people need democracy. inshallah this will happen.

[Edinaldo08]

In a monarchy some people are more important than others by law.

The republic says that all men are born equal. Even if it is not easy to implement it is a good thing to have the right theory to start with.

[PinkoPapist89]

What are the West's relations with Swaziland like? Judging from how little we hear of the place in the mainstream media (like Angola, unlike Zimbabwe) I'd guess they're pretty good.

[icyhotwitch]

Welcome to Africa....

[Kiyaz]

I dnt know who he is trying to show off to with all that laviousness display, to the rest of the world he is nothing but a dictator and a looser. Im disgusted as much as everyone. Western corporates r not the problem, African dictators are.

[sshapewa]

when will people stop treating each other like kings!!If u place value on a motherfucking leader,he/she ends up hoarding all the wealth!!!Africans are real stupid assholes!!!

[Hakee04]

He is typical african dictator with out soul & heart. His ppl are dying of hunger,disease, famin & starvation & bought 30 new Mercides & he has 30 wives damn. The ppl of Swazis has to get rid of him. I konw there is no perfect leader in africa but this man is one of the worst.

[ruhanadelsberg]

Erm, he has 13 wives and he bought 20 new BMWs...Where did u get your info?

[Hakee04]

ruhanadelsberg

If u lisent carefuly 2 what the AljazeeraEnglish reporter was saying, u will know that where i got my information from. The King bought 40 brand new BMW not 20. Peace.

[ruhanadelsberg]

hahahhaha! My cousin owns the car dealership where he got them! Carson BMW, google it! Trust the media why dont you! This is why I dont argue!

[Atheist001]

What's with this AIDS-ridden country?!

[nuttierthanthou]

disgusting...

[monkeypeopleofearth]

The King is not doing his job. Absolute Power Corrupts.  The people should revolt and have the King's head on a staff in the town square

[crocodilejunior]

no comment for now

[jakob0815]

no reply either

[DarkDennis1961]

Wish I could muster up an opinion. But it's so far away. How does it affect me? I don't care.

[hendep]

king is good....king is good... hail the king... I think he should marry eight more wives...

[michaelmage]

Sounds to me like he will be Maswati the Last ... hahahahaha ... what a fucking fool.

[MasterMark123]

Damn people it's the 21st century !! Kick the bum out ! He is a complete failure as a ruler. He lives the lavish life and His people suffer. In France they beheaded their king when he took this route

[bluenosedive]

40% HIV positive what the hell!!!??? and He has what 12/14 wives.... WoW!!! and I didn't think there was a country worse than Zimbabwe

[oinkysqueak]

Kill the King!!

[oinkysqueak]

That King needs a bullet in his head!

[EsotericDesi]

I think this King is a real asshole... He have many wives... setting bad example in an AIDS infected nation... and this King owns fleets of luxury cars and private jet... Totally unacceptable lifestyle for such a poor nation's king.

[IsaAbdulmali]

talk about a womanizing control freak, my God, how the hell can that guy call himself responsable for a people, a sick and dieing people, and he spend what little they have to party with american/british swine... la... inna ana qul, a'udhu bi Rabbi-n-nas,wa Allah... have mercy on those poor misslead people...
