LOBAMBA – The Kingdom of Eswatini is abuzz with the news of the latest appointment to King Mswati III’s advisory council, Liqoqo. Prophet Vusumuzi Dlamini, better known as Major V, has been selected to join the council, a move that has generated significant media attention and public debate.
Major V, the charismatic leader of the Mountain of Salvation International Church, is no stranger to the spotlight. Known for his flamboyant style and controversial remarks, Major V’s appointment has sent shockwaves through the kingdom, stirring a mix of reactions from the public and political analysts alike.
The announcement, made on Saturday, confirmed that Major V will now serve as an advisor to the King, alongside other esteemed members of Liqoqo. Former Deputy Prime Minister Paul Dlamini will continue to serve as the Chair of the council, providing continuity amidst the changes.
Reactions to Major V’s appointment have been varied. Supporters of Major V express cautious optimism, viewing his inclusion as a fresh and dynamic change that could bring new perspectives to the council. “Major V is a man of vision and passion. His insights could greatly benefit the kingdom,” said one enthusiastic supporter.
However, the appointment has also been met with surprise and skepticism from various quarters. Critics point to Major V’s history of provocative statements and question his suitability for such a prestigious advisory role. “This is an unexpected and bold move by the King. We hope Major V’s influence will be constructive,” commented a political analyst.
King Mswati’s decision to appoint Major V reflects the monarch’s openness to diverse voices within his advisory circle. As Major V steps into his new role, all eyes will be on Liqoqo to see how this dynamic figure will contribute to the future of Eswatini.
The Kingdom of Eswatini remains watchful as the newly appointed Major V begins his tenure. With his track record of stirring public discourse, Major V’s presence in Liqoqo promises to bring a wave of change, the impact of which will unfold in the coming months.
