Thanks Mr Sibiya for your view about the Royal family,,, But I think you are wrong here, how can we stop point finger to the King and Royal family while they still interfear with every political thing happening here in Swaziland. The MP,s and ministers are just rubber stamps they contribute less than 5% to the real issues we are struggling with here... all political matters are approved by the King and the Royal family so that it can suite them not the Swazi nation.
You are also talking about structures to be followed when confronting the King or Royal family, those structure if they do exist work only if you not against the King. I personal love the King but I strongly hate what he,s doing to the Swazi nation,, hence am not in support of him, the royal family and his goverment.
