Swaziland’s President King Mswatii III has yet again bought another fleet of luxurious vehicles. This comes barely after a week when he purchased 19 Rolls-Royce vehicles.
12 trucks carrying 79 top of the range BMW X3 SUVs and 540 sedans made their way into Eswatini’s capital Manzini yesterday from the Durban port in South Africa.
People’s United Democratic Movement (Pudemo)’s secretary general Wandile Dludlu castigated the move by Mswatii.
“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 (approximately US$17 million).
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,” fumed Dludlu.
Last month Eswatini teachers embarked on a public strike demanding better wages and living conditions.
