Government Formation;
The Tinkhundla Centers will be converted to Municipal Constituency Offices(Urban/Rural).
The chiefdoms will then be converted into wards.
We cancel primary elections and secondary elections and synchronize them into one.
During elections;
The electorate will be given 3 ballot papers, to elect;
1. Member of Parliament
2. Regional Council Member
3. Ward Councillor (Bucopho)
1. Member of Parliament
These would be political parties representatives whom will sit to elect the President in the National assembly.
This position will only be reserved for Political parties representatives only. No Independents.
2. Regional Council Members
These structures will also be comprised of political parties representatives only. The regional Council would then sit to elect the Regional Premier.
These regional structures would also get budget allocations for infrastructure development. This will in return ensure that all regions get the much needed attention, especially when it comes to development.
3. Ward Councillors/(Bucopho)
Ward Councillors, urban or rural, would also sit to elect their mayors(Commonly known as Indvuna) whom will be executive. Some of the budget allocations would further be allocated in the various municipal constituencies, both rural and urban. Independents will also be allowed to run for ward Councillor potision.
NB: The positions of members of parliament and regional council members are closed to only represantatives of political parties because it will be important to have us entrust people who would have a political home which has got policies in place and a constitution.
We are in this mess today where a parliament sits to approve a 1.6bn loan for a new parliament, approve hikes in water and electricity, all because we have independents who are driven by their own individual ideologies. We cant then take a gamble. A representative from a political party can always be held accountable by his/her party to ensure that they dont deviate from policies of the party.
It is important to note why King Sobhuza II banned political parties in 1973 for independents, this was because he knew how easy it was to manipulate independents.
