  • What the WR might have heard in the media was the definite opposite of the situation on the ground, adding that Emaswati are warm people led by a monarch.

However, most countries have done away with monarchies, but we as a nation of Emaswati have maintained that, hence you will feel the difference and the peace that prevails in our Kingdom.
