Swaziland for its relentless efforts aimed at addressing security concerns in the SADC region.
The President was speaking yesterday during a State Banquet hosted in his honour by King Mswati III, at Lozitha Royal Palace.
The Kingdom of Swaziland is the current chair of SADC’s organ of political, Defence and Peace in the region.[quote]
Mr Banda said the process so far made in Magadascar negotiations had been possible due to the role Swaziland had played in the early days of the crisis.
“In the same vein, I wish to applaud SADC’s efforts through its special envoy former President Joachim Chissano of Mozambique for trying to restore peace in Madagascar. We look forward to a successful mediation in the interest of our sub-region,” President Banda said.
The president said there was need for urgent revival of the Zambia-Swaziland Joint Permanent Commission (JPC) of Cooperation because the two countries shared a historical bond friendship and affinity.
He said the common desire of the two countries for economic growth and sustainable development gave them impetus to explore new areas of economic, social and political cooperation which would be beneficial to both countries.
Mr. Banda said Zambia and Swaziland enjoyed common membership to international organisations such as the African Union, the Commonwealth and the United Nations.
At these fora, the two countries shared common positions like the Africa’s common stance on the reform of the United Nations as embodied in the Eluwlini Consensus.
President Banda said in addition, Zambia and Swaziland shared same aspirations as they both envisage an African Continent free from debt, disease, poverty, economic stagnation, oppression and conflict.
He said the two countries should show the same resolve which characterized efforts in support of the liberation struggle in Southern Africa.
The President re-affirmed government’s commitment to cooperate and increasing of interaction with the people and government of Swaziland.
And King Mswati said he was pleased that SADC had continued to uphold dialogue whenever conflicts arose because this approach had continued to pay dividends in the region.
The King said the negotiations aimed at ending the political crisis in Madagascar were encouraging because all parties had been willing to put aside their political interests in the interest of their country.
He said the Swazi nation has continued to protect and preserve its cultural heritage which had become their symbol of identity and unity over time.
“These cultural ceremonies have been passed on from generation to generation and they make us unique,” King Mswati said.
The King said the Reed Dance traditional ceremony which President Banda was invited to witness had been unifying the people of Swaziland as a nation for a long time.
He said the ceremony brought chastity pride and nationalism to the young girls in the country.
what do you expect when thandiwe remained behind.
Rb, stop the political violence

I hope this RB wont marry another girl at the reed mat ceremony in Swaziland.
Why has Banda left his wife in Zambia? is it becuase there are free ladies in Swaziland? or what? please let me know becuase likes women no wonder Dora was cleared of corruption and Nkole dismissed for telling the truth. God we need a leader that is real like Obama. Stupid Miyanda rebuked Mwanawasa’s call otherwise we woundn’t have been going through this rubbish.
Why is he wearing chitenge material? absolutely primitive. Our president looks miles better. You can take a man from the bush but you cant take the bush out of him, as per evident here. Some africans are backwards like this man with our honourable president
Why is a king allowed to marry more than one woman?? thats just wrong
#7 Women like to get married to such people
But why is that taker?
Geeez kamushota, its amazing that you being in whatever country you are,it seems everything Africa stands for is primitive,judging from all that you comment makes me sick of one not proud of where they come from,tell me one white person you know who proudly speaks of Africa’s traditions and values,you are a shame to the people
RB is really travelling a lot. Always there and there and yet we have problems that need his attention in Zed. God save Zambia please
Mushe why allow men to marry more than 2 wives is it ok if i get married to 4 men? Men are selfish if you ask me
mushe sometimes it pays to ignore
It is wrong for any man to marry more than 1 wife, just as it is wrong to have many boyfriends or girlfriends. In Denmark it is forbidden by law to marry more than one. Is it common sense. Only female dogs do
Is it not common sense iwe Mswati.
Mushota,why allow men to marry one woman,this is what a white man has decided, a black person has decided to marry 2 or more women,you havent answered my questions, it must be tiresome to hate yourself so much that today wearing a chitenge is so primitve to you, you have embrassed all the white people’s cultures and dicided to forget ours. Am married to an American white woman but i stand with African and my Lozi culture,lets continue this conversation me and you not on this blog if you want give me your number, lets discuss issues that affect our country much on this fora
These two guys have one thing in common , i have never heard SWAZILAND becoming so popular, to what benefit is it to Zambians or is it only to please this pleasure seeker PRESIDENT?
Mushe the only thing we have in commoin is that our partners are white. For you to condone that a man getting married to more than one woman, is in short iam afraid primitive. Forget what a country tells you, because a man is more likely to cheat than a woman, and therefore they could be a leading a double life anyway which is wrong. i f i have 2 guys iam a B.. or a S… but if you as a man has 2 women you are ‘a player’ and you pinch yourself everyday disgraceful !!!
Why don’t you just stop being a bitter coconut cow and let the man be. The fact he has many wives is his own and wives choice not a commoner like you’s choice. The women are not forced to marry him they line up on their own volition, j Why you keep worrying about peoples relationships instead of yours just shows how unhappy you are.
The friendship between the dictator and the absolute dictator is disconcerting at best. I do not know what RB hopes to learn from King Mswati that will benefit Zambians. By the way LT, it is King Mswati III and not King Mswati 111. Zambians need to mobilize like they did during the Kafupi third term nonsense. Rupiah must not be allowed to govern past 2011. Actually, even 2011 is way too far, he needs to be stopped at all cost, the sooner the better …. mass civil disobedience would be my first choice. I know if mad enough, Zedians can remove this dictator .. let him stay in Swazi since he seems so enamored by KM III.
what are you up to, are you looking for a second wife,
Slum for all i know these woen are brainwashed. I am told you cant ‘NOT refuse when the king is calling Meaning they don it non consensual. In Europ thats rape. IThe swazi people live in the past NO MAN SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MARRY MORE THAN ONEWOMAN. Its because of people like you slum that i swear i will NEVER marry a black guy, Just that the thinking unless it changes you will always live in the past. A white guy would never thiink like that. King mswati is not a HERO despise him, and let him know WOMEN are not TOYS
Kanitundila, why are globetroting like this wasting our money for nothing? You bet he will spend all the time in Tripoli “Kayopering” instead of representing us.
Slum for all i know these woen are brainwashed. I am told you cant ‘NOT refuse when the king is calling Meaning they don it non consensual. In Europ thats a prison sentence .

For your own information the women married to mswati can blow you out of the water academically and beauty wise. You call a man marrying many wives primitive and yet you forget the same muzungu’s you worship have the highest divorce rate, highest sex change and homo se xual activities , biggest numer child predators and other sick things in this world and yet king mswati is primitive ?!! Don’t worry about men like me every marrying trollops like you , Even my most attractive ex girlfriend would put you to shame. You see I have options meaning unlike the men that slapped phalluses and your forehead and never called you back, and treated you like you deserved .Your muzungus don’t have integrity to marry many wives they instead cheat and sleep with the same sex.

Ka Mushota, white men marry one woman but are #1 in extra marital affairs. That is why the rate of divorce in the west is the highest in the world. Africans like to come out in the open that is why they marry more than one woman and divorce rates are low. Go ahead, marry a white man, you will probably end up in a porn movie.
#26 It seems it is the reason why the MMD bought those hearses. They would like to see them put to use. It is really sad what is going on in Zambia regarding politics. It does not depict civilization at all. Take these cadres to Rural Reconstruction Canters (RR) and let them work there growing food
#28 Infact these Ba zungus do not care they can even sleep with sisters to their wives. I know one who clobbered the whole lot of sisters. I asked him how he could do such a thing. He said he did not care whether it was a sister as long as she was willing. The problem with most black women is that they like money too much. Easy money (Educated or not)
#29 and #30 i completely agree with you,why is it that our sister Mushota seem to conderm poligamy so much,infidelity is the white man,s thing, do you remember BILL CLINTON
And most of these black girls are married to old White men, drug addicts , alcoholics even disabled etc………..
#32 Basoke brother, uli right, ONLY primitive black zambian women like our sister will go for those finished white men
Banee, our sister thinks our mothers wearing chitengez is primitive COZ chitengez cover them well that they dont expose those parts to the public, i WONDER for her and the western world that she has embrased so much, is wearing short mini skirts and G- strings ndiye kucha? where one can stand and look at our culture and surgest that, chitengez are for the past.
mushota you are just a slut who is interested in men…..silly chap
RB mwaliya fye kubu hule uko.who doesnt know you ?
Aka ka mushota kalishota amano ngeshina lyakako, her negative thinking about black men is a serious disgrace to her father, mother and her entire family who are blacks for that matter. They should be some nuts missing in her head.
please mushota discuss issues of substance on this site or else go and join dating site.
The Reed Dance traditional ceremony which President Banda was invited to witness, is this porn or just a culture?
Only pipo in Swaziland understand their traditional ceremony, all i know girls dance 98 % naked, i watched it one time on BTV.
A Human being ought to be respected. Why get criticsed if you dont eat for example Impwa why? It means you hate it. I dont mind black guys i hung around them, But i would not marry one let alone be touched by one, because i have no feelings for them. But i respect them. By the way my bf is not old he is young handsome got a car is a little bit educated and above all loves me and hopefully will never leave me. Most black guys just are not serious about work, they think its a great achievement to own, a house have a car etc . Its just my choice all black men can be my friends but just dont put your hands on me, I will report you to the police as you may have just forced yourself on my Body
Mushota how ignorant and small minded you are.
Generalizations are typically perpetuated by people who cannot carry out an intelligent argument.
Wisi Boyi You are very right
Note the bit where she says her ‘boyfriend is a little bit educated and will never leave’ , that just tranlates into a insecure person who still has flashbacks of being left so settles for a ‘byker grove’ type muzungu. Your muzungu boyfriend probably failed to find his ideal blone white woman and settled for you, just give him time you know how muzungu’s love divorce .Your boyfriend is probably as educated as the kaponya’s in zambia and you dare even compare him to us on here.If you are such a prize how come all you can do is a muzungu thats a bit educated? Whichever black man that abused you or broke your heart needs a trophy , I normally would have sympathy but with you never.
Yaba iyi imbwa mushota eko ili nakuno!!!!!!! Awe yachilamo ukununka mwee. I am going to sleep I cant associate with a D.u.l.l person like Mushaota.
YABA….. Mushota! Awe kwena mwandi, i think you are quit immature to appreciate your own race which is BLACK like the black guys you hate so much,,, ur dad, MOTHER ,…siblings, if u’ve any at all are black too, unless ofcourse what makes you call yourself Mushota here is a Russel or Smith.. dont forget here on the Island u’re just a N’qqer just like your bro’s so better start liking yourself first,, there100’s of thouzaaaaaands of white men i would never bother myself with cuz with every human race there is crap, that crap could be closer to you than you can imagine!!!!
*quite*_________¬ spelling
OK enough of silly icho chise Ba Mushota. Reading what you have been writing, kulibonesha ta kind of verbatim with kinda a low grade judgement on issues, one can only come to a conclusion that you’re either living on benefits as they call it up there in UK or going round whitenising yourself but knowing deep down your heart that some parasitic thoughts are grooving right in you torso. You showing off about your BF we don’t even know is utter babyish minded again with a parasitic belongingness of “eeh! got a car, eeh got a house, grow up sissy and start acting like a Zambian, well behaved most of the time, don’t you think so?
Please Ba Sissy Mushota if you’ve got any humility in you, please try to apologise on behalf of our galant men and women of Zambia for the unpalatable behaviour you have exhibited.
As a christian, I think any man or woman having more than one spouse is wrong. That said, it is not to conclude that such an act only happens in Africa. Muslims marry more than one woman and Mormons (majority of them white) also marry more than one woman so this situation is not unique to Africans.
However white people in the west have got the highest divorce rates and highest adultery rates. This means if they had the opportunity to take on more than one wife, they would so once again, this is not unique to Africans. White men are more selfish than black men when it comes to treatment of women.
BTW, The king looks very smart in his chitenge. I like how he is embracing his culture.
Folks ignore this Mushota thing. Lets discuss why our president loves travelling to fellow dictators’ serfdoms. We need to replace this dull President. We haven’t seen any plan from him since he came to power. The only plan he has is to stand again in 2011. Are these the kind of leaders a sinking nation needs? Who will mend our roads when this guys is always flying?
Mushota? Fellow bloggers, Mushota seems to keep on talking about her marriage with this white man and how she hates black guys on every thread. I think she wants a black guy to want her because she has had enough of the white guy and needs to enjoy the real experience of “real” black men. And by the way we are all men first and then everything else after. So ba Mushota we have heard you already and so you don’t need to continue posting on every thread how you hate black men. You hate us so its ok we accept that. I would recommend you ask LT to open a thread for you under “lifestyle” section so you can pour out from there.
This kaMushota is a shallow minded, just here to distract everyone from discussing important issues. For this reason lets not pay attention to whatever rubbish she writes, she is a disgrace to her entire family. Wekapubawe ka Mushota don’t even use our respected Zambian name, ask your BF to find u another name which suits your depressed mind. Tuma benefits twakutoba umutwe.
I think Mushota is a Tasinta girl. I can’t believe you mentioned your bf having a car. I was thinking you will mention that he has jet. A car? Iyo it is true has a little bit of education.
don’t know why but i have always had a thing for white guys. have tried dating a black man but i then realized that i am not attracted to them. I dont want to talk about me anymore Leave me alone thanks. we talk about the topic at hand
Tasita girl Mushota, you are back with your shallow mind?I earlier on respected your feelings but i think this is too much daughter of a black man with a black mama.Take your feelings away from this site,will blame LT for giving you chance to publish your threads.
Girl Mushota today is a Sunday, time to praise the most high.
Will pray for you that the Holy spirit could touch you and will also pray for RB so that he should not be attempted to have a girl from the reed dance naked as Thandi is left behind.
Mushota needs serious counseling
I find comments by Mushota to be very racist and offensive. Just because she is now sucking white d*#ks does not make her superior to any Zambians. Please enjoy your life with your honky but keep your racist comments to yourself and get rid of the anger that you have deep inside you. There a lot of people from all walks of life reading this blog and they do not deserve your venom.
We are discussing Banda’s visit to the reed dance and not your flawed sexual preferance. By the way I like white blonde chicks too and I have done a lot of them but you do not see me making a lot of offensive comments against our sisters in Zed.
I would suggest to you go to YOUTUBE and create a post with a title “WHY WHITE GUYS ARE BETTER”. Leave this respectable blog alone.
This Mushota girl must leave this blog and go to YOUTUBE. We are tired of the racist comments

The British have once again brainwashed and colonised one of our own, Mushota !
The black man who broke MUSHOTA’s heart deserves an Osacar.He is a man.Reading thru her comments,its easy to conclude why the brothaman gave her a nasty dump.He couldnt stand her.Worse still,the levels of insecurity in her are so high that she couldnt gather some pieces after the break up to get a real bacak dude but decided to settle for an averagely educated muzungu who she now worships never to leave her.Mushota,you are in for a rude shock,I know Bazungus.Get ready for another dump and this time dont commit suicide cos its like u have invested all your LOVE in him,to the contrary,he has invested none in you ,and you cant see it cos you are just too naive.

Bakashana nabalumendo muleyako naku Church…pa LT all day ??
Going back into history, you will realise that both RB, a Ngoni, and King Mswati, a Nguni originate from one tribal lineage, the Zulu.
It is therefore no surprise that the two leaders seem to be strengthening their friendship despite their age differences. They share the same cultural roots.
But RB needs for a change, to minimise his travels and stay at home to attend to the numerous pressing problems facing the nation
Fellow bloggers, forgive the young girl Mushota for exposing her very high inferiority complex on a public blog without any shame. She is still young and still infatuated and needs to face up to the realities of life. She is living in a bubble and will experience real life when that bubble bursts.
Mushota claims the women in Swaziland are brainwashed but she does not see that she is also brain washed in denigrating everything about African culture. Why is it ‘primitive’ for an African man to wear a chitenge as she put it. Infact in Swaziland the attire Mswati is wearing is called emahiya. Swazis have many problems in their country but atleast they are not brainwashed into thinking that everything white is good and everything African is backwards or primitive. Infact, if Mushota was not ignorant about the Swazi kingdom she would know that it is a dual monarchy headed by the king and his mother who is the most powerful woman in the kingdom and has the power to challenge the some of the king’s decision.
Mushota please go and see Micheal Jackson’s daughter so that you can also become white and then join the Klu klux klan.
Mushota, please just go away and delude yourself elsewhere. You are a disgrace to the millions of Africans who have suffered injustice during the slave trade and colonialism. South Africans only got their liberation in 1994 and yet you come here to boast how you rub your nose in the arse of a white man. You have no self-respect and I hope that some nazi racist harms you because that is what you deserve. If anything was to happen to you, please be assured that you will not be missed.
what i have heard on this block, kwena inyo uku papa
Dont understand why the tiny dictatorship of Swaziland has taken importance in Zambias foreign policy. As a woman I think our president should have taken Thandiwe to the reed dance as a message to those over–xed despots.
It’s really a nice and useful piece of information. I’m glad that you just shared this helpful info with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
I’m very pleased with the content on your blog. I receive lots of thoughts which helped me to.
