Bongani Masuku was a South African vocalist best known as the backing vocalist of Johnny Clegg's band. In addition he also toured with I Muvrini on three European tours. Quotes The system was indeed shaken, and decisively so, but not to the point that the king could give up power. It was not at that level. Secondly, the King is not willing to give up power without a real fight. He is not willing to give up his comfort and his juicy and unfettered access to the economy that funds his expensive lifestyle. Lastly, the progressive forces or the leaders of the revolution are not ready to take Swaziland out of this mess. The progressive forces are not at the point where they can decisively lead. But if you look at the masses on the other hand, they were more than willing to make extraordinary sacrifices. That's why the army had difficulty reconfiguring and reclaiming lost ground. Meanwhile, the political parties leadership was not as hegemonic and solid as it should be. So according to me the three things account for the fact that King Mswati is still in power. Without a doubt the last few days were very significant in our history. No one can underplay or doubt the masses’ new resolve and desire for a new Swaziland. However, there are three things that are very important to note at this juncture. The first one is that the balance of power or the balance of forces have not reached a point, both objectively and subjectively, where the King can be forced to give up power.
