PRINCESS SIBAHLE BREAKS UP WITH ASSYRIAN PRINCE, MARRIES MOZAMBICAN NATIONAL

By Nokwanda Mamba
, 26 July 2025

MBABANE: Princess Sibahle Temashayina Dlamini was once engaged to Assyrian Prince Dani Chamoun Beddawi, in a union that was reportedly blessed by King Mswati in 2019.

At the time, King Mswati allegedly gifted the Assyrian prince a piece of land in Mafutseni, part of which had been used by local vendors. The vendors were evicted from what was their only source of livelihood, prompting public outcry. Critics believed the royal engagement was part of a strategy to secure influence or stakes in the oil-rich Arab region, with the land gift seen as a political move.

Prince Beddawi had just come out of a relationship with American model Blac Chyna, who allegedly cheated on him. However, his relationship with Princess Sibahle was also short-lived. By 2022, the princess had become engaged to Mozambican national Yassin Monteiro Nunes.

Nunes is the son of Nelson Nunes, Chairperson of Mozambique’s National Road Transport Institute (INATRO). This weekend, Princess Sibahle and Yassin Nunes have been officially married in a traditional ceremony, once again blessed by King Mswati.

It remains to be seen what the King stands to benefit from this latest union. Back in 2014, following a fallout with Salgaocar boss Shanmuga, it was revealed that King Mswati had allegedly offered one of his daughters to the businessman in an attempt to settle a debt involving a private jet, which had previously been presented to the public as a gift from development partners.

"Don't be afraid Mkhwanazi if they fire you EFF has a position for you" CIC Malema.

26 July 2025.

In a fiery show of support, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has publicly thrown his weight behind KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, amid mounting pressure and speculation over Mkhwanazi’s position within the South African Police Service (SAPS).

“Do not be shaken,” Malema declared. “You are a man of integrity. And should they fire you, you have a position in the EFF!”

The outspoken EFF leader’s comments follow reports that Mkhwanazi has been under increasing pressure from high-level government officials after launching internal investigations into corrupt practices involving senior SAPS members and their alleged links to political elites.

Malema praised Mkhwanazi for his bravery and refusal to compromise his principles, saying the commissioner represents the kind of fearless leadership South Africa needs to clean up law enforcement.

KENNY KUNENE SUSPENDED BY PATRIOTIC ALLIANCE AND RESIGNS AS MMC

By Sipho Mndzebele
, 25 July 2025

JOHANNESBURG:The Patriotic Alliance (PA) has officially suspended its Deputy President, Kenny Kunene, following allegations linked to his presence at the home of a suspected member of a murder syndicate. In a letter addressed to Secretary-General Chinelle Stevens, PA President Gayton McKenzie confirmed that Kunene has voluntarily agreed to step aside to allow for an independent investigation into the matter.

The suspension comes as a response to public concern and a call for transparency, with McKenzie stating that Kunene’s explanation for being at the location “should be tested.” A competent legal team has been appointed to handle the investigation. While the inquiry is underway, Kunene will not perform any duties or act in any official capacity within the party.

Shortly after news of his suspension broke, Kunene submitted his resignation as a Proportional Representation Councillor and Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Transport in the City of Johannesburg. In a resignation letter addressed to Executive Mayor Dada Morero, Kunene said he is stepping aside from public life temporarily, maintaining that the allegations are unfounded but acknowledging that it would be in the public interest for him to clear his name before returning to any official role.

“I have always committed myself to serve the residents of Johannesburg with vigour, authenticity, and vision,” Kunene stated. Reflecting on his two years as MMC, he said he took pride in championing accessible transport and addressing inefficiencies in the system.

Despite stepping down, Kunene reaffirmed his loyalty to the broader mission of the Patriotic Alliance and vowed to remain dedicated to uplifting communities. His resignation is effective immediately.

This dual development both the suspension by his party and his resignation from municipal office marks a significant political moment for Kunene, who has been a vocal and controversial figure in South African politics.

BOYCOTTING ROYAL EVENTS WOULD HAVE ADVANCED THE CALLS FOR DEMOCRATIC REFORMS

By Nokwanda Mamba
, 26 July 2025

Boycotting every event organised by royalty would have surely advanced the calls for democratic reforms , but such action requires consistency and honesty.

We recall the frustration of the regime when emaSwati shunned both the Sibaya gathering and the Umhlanga Ceremony soon after the 29 June 2021 massacre. They had to rely on a rented crowd. It had become clear to the King that emaSwati were demanding change. In response, he cunningly promised a "dialogue" after the Incwala Ceremony. That’s when many emaSwati were misled. They attended the Incwala in large numbers, and suddenly, the narrative shifted. The regime claimed that this attendance proved love for the King, and dismissed the need for any political dialogue.

We also remember the successful campaign to lobby South African artists against performing at the Luju Festival. That boycott frustrated the regime and its corporate partners, as it posed serious financial risks. These events require significant investment, and without a supportive crowd, the losses can be heavy.

However, a few months later, we witnessed political activists participating in the Biggest Braai ,“in the name of charity.” That was an own goal at a crucial moment of political unrest, when we were supposed to strike the regime where it hurts the most. The Mass Democratic Movement (MDM) became divided over the participation of legendary activist Mphandlana Shongwe in the event. Shongwe told critics to resign from the civil service if they dared question his attendance, arguing that they too earned salaries from the Tinkhundla regime. Others sympathised with him, noting his unemployment and need for financial support.

But the truth remains: he breached principle. We were supposed to boycott the Biggest Braai and send a clear message, that we are not happy with the current regime. Boycotting is one of the most peaceful forms of protest. They can’t shoot us for refusing to attend their events.

We cannot hide behind the excuse of “charity.” What charity? Are we supposed to accept breadcrumbs from a regime that loots taxpayers daily? The same regime that has stolen billions is now parading as a charitable force? It’s not charity, it’s a scam. Another ploy to extract money from the citizens in broad daylight.

Shongwe’s participation in the Biggest Braai seemed to open the floodgates. Since then, many political activists have been seen flocking to royal events , including the Ingwenyama Cup, sponsored by the MVA, using funds that should be benefiting accident victims.

A CONVOY OF 10 BUSES AND PRIVATE VEHICLES USED TO ACCOMPANY PRINCESS TEMASHAYINA TO HER NEW MOZAMBICAN MAN.

, 26 July 2025

A fleet of ten buses and several private vehicles formed part of the royal entourage as Princess Temashayina Sibahle Dlamini travelled to Mozambique’s KaTembe region to marry her new partner, Yassin Monteiro Nunes. Commissioned by King Mswati III, the grand procession marked the official umtsimba journey.

The princess's union with Nunes comes after she reportedly ended her relationship with Dani Chamoun Beddawi, an Assyrian man previously acknowledged and blessed by the royal family.
