I was shocked to learn that some speakers in the women’s day celebration were boed to an extend that the president threaten to leave the event. Comrade Mdu I agree with u that government event should be treated as government event, and if political parties want platform to celebrate the heroes of 1956 should organise their events. Using money especially government money for your personal things can be called corruption and if some parties did such they should be condemed.
Comrade Mdu, can you please clarify this sentense for me “I do not believe in inclusivity. Our government should not allow government events to be addressed by political parties”. - Who should address government events? - If you are a president or a minister or member of parliament do you cease to be a politician? Can government events be addressed by DGs? - If inclusivity is not fine according to you, how do you suggest we can build unity in the society while advancing the NDR? Comrade Mdu, iam not sure what do you mean when you question a dressing code of a person. Does a dressing code has an impact on the orientation or thinking of an individual. Can it be correct that we emulate Swaziland that if you are wearing a political party T-Shirt even if you do not know anything about politic you will be tourched and be bitten and be arrested.
