*PUDEMO STATEMENT ON MSWATI’S BLATANT ABUSE OF TAXPAYER’S HARD EARNED MONEY*
*07 November 2019* In Swaziland, public sector workers have not received salary adjustments in 3 years and the health system has totally collapsed, rendering the poorest of the poor vulnerable. Tertiary institutions have also closed down due to student unrest caused by the regime’s failure to cater for their tuition fees, text book fees, accommodation and other expenses. In the midst of all these self-inflicted crises, the shameless King Mswati continues to spoil himself and his family, totally oblivious to the myriad of problems afflicting the people he claims to lead. Last week, a total of 19 Rolls Royce cars were delivered to Swaziland for the exclusive use of the King, his mother and wives and the total cost of these vehicles to the Swazi taxpayer was over E250 million. Notwithstanding the outrage of Swazis over the purchase of the Rolls Royces, the King Mswati led government continued rub salt into the gaping wound suffered by people by purchasing a further 120 BMWs and 30 motor bikes which were delivered today for the exclusive use of the royal family. According to reports, some of these cars are for his motorcade and the exclusive use of his children. To say that this is a blatant display of arrogance and total disregard of the poor people of Swaziland’s feelings by the monarch would be an understatement. He is basically showing them a middle finger and proving to all and sundry that he is a law unto himself and not at all concerned about the people’s concerns. As PUDEMO, we strongly condemn in the strongest possible terms this brazen looting of the oppressed people of Swaziland’s hard earned taxes by Mswati. We further call on our fellow countrymen to stand up and face up to this evil regime that continues to keep us in bondage. Under no circumstances can we allow one family to continuously condemn us to poverty. It is about time that we fight back and reclaim what rightfully belongs to us. This has been going on and has emboldened the regime and we must fight back. Our dignity as a people has been seriously undermined by the parasitic royal family. We can no longer afford to turn a blind eye while our hard earned taxes are used not for our benefit but for a family that does not benefit us. *LET US REBEL AN FIGHT BACK!!!* Issued by the People’s United Democratic Movement [PUDEMO] Wandile Dludlu – Secretary General Contact: +268 7611 1676 *Lucky Lukhele- * *Tell:011 339 3621* *Fax: **0866162206* *Mobile: 072 502 4141* *Email: lucky.lukh...@gmail.com <lucky.lukh...@gmail.com> * Skype: LuckyLukhele1 Twitter: @lukhelelucky -- -- NEW!!!!
