THIS INTRODUCTORY VIDEO IS WHAT I HOLD PRINCE MAKHOSELIVE NKHOSI MOSTLY DEARLY FOR: HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING SUCCESS OF THE RENDEZVOUS AS DEPICTED ON THE VIDEO JUST BELOW
1. One
of my greatest sources of pride is the fact that I am prince through and
through what with my father’s people clan being what Europeans when they came
to learn reading hieroglyphics (kametografika) bastardized to ‘”Pharaoh’ that
which was and still is “Phiri”. But my
smart Pharaonic prince of a father played even smarter when he sought for his
third wife my mother who is a descendant of Swaziland’s royal house, the Nkhosi
or Nkosi Dlamini; and this is the main reason for this post as I congratulate
one of my Swazi princely cousins a happy birthday.
2. His
name is Prince Makhoselive Nkhosi. He
makes me just as proud to have blood relatives as does Roman Catholic Priest
Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa who also strides princedom in his paternal lineage
the Mkhatshwa People a.k.a. Zwide-ka-Langa People. These are instances of royal blood who see no
trouble, like too many johny-come-lately-individuals to royalty, to stoop down
and be with the most down trodden of the masses of the people of any land.
3. In
the case of mine as a victim for more than 27 years to Mandelasque-Xhosa
tribalism (a form of xenophobia and black racism practised mainly against
fellow blacks of South Africa and those from abroad but also against innocent whites
since and before 1994 by Mandela followers in our otherwise beloved ruling
party the ANC of South Africa under the command of Mr Jacob Zuma and some three
predecessors), I have seen the likes of my relatives like Prince Makhoselive
giving himself trouble…pleasant trouble where I am concerned… to come and give
me spiritual support where I needed it most.
4. It
is for that reason that I thought today, more than just to send him a
congratulatory message on his birthday (which should be a few hours away from
whether Homeland Swaziland Time or Big Ben Time in London where he is currently
studying), I should write a post NOT ONLY FOR HIM, but for all my precious
relatives like he.
Blog writer's second cousin Kingdom of Swaziland's Prince Makhoselive (the shorter of the two men) |
BLOG WRITER'S MEMORIES OF THE PRINCE'S SENSE OF SELFLESSNESS FOR RELATIVES
This funeral of blog writer's father was through thick and thin and across borders attended by the Prince FINANCIAL EXPENSES AND SPEEDING NECESSITIES TO MAKE IT IN TIME NOTWITHSTANDING. OK, you may not see the Swazi Prince here but you will at least see Blog Author (in Languages Englis, Kiswahili and Siswati) introducing you to what is happening on the video as from Minute 7 Second 10 (THE MUSIC ON THIS VIDEO IS NOT PART OF THE FUNERAL; RATHER A FORESIGHT OF THE VIDEO-MAKER'S EXUBERANCE IN ENLIVENING AN OTHERWISE SOMBRE OCCASION)
SOME MOONS AFTER BLOG WRITER'S FATHER DYING, THE FORMER LOOKED VERY SUCCESSFULLY TO SWAZI PRINCE DLAMINI'S CLOSE RELATIVES TO HELP IN GUIDING THE PHIRI FAMILY WHERE BLOG WRITER, AS THE BIGGEST SURVIVING CHILD, HAD THE CULTURAL RESPONSIBILITY TO CHOOSE HELPERS IN ENABLING THE FAMILY NOT DIE FROM ATTACKS FROM ALL KINDS OF ENEMIES (INCLUDING RELATIVES), THE BANE OF ANY AND EVERY FAMILY IN THE WORLD! PRINCE MAKHOSELIVE DLAMINI ATTENDED THIS FAMILY GATHERING TOO AT HIS OWN EXPENSE INCLUSIVE OF DRAGGING ALONG A SISTER AS WELL AS A NIECE, NOT TO MENTION HIS OWN MOTHER! AND SO BLOG WRITER SAYS IN ADVANCEOF WATCHING THESE VIDEOS::: THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY COUSIN AND YOUR SWAZI ROYAL SWAZI HIGHNESS!!!

2. The next video (particularly from Minute 5. Second 59) you see blog writer waxing large in what little he knows of the Siswati Language as why the gathering of the Dlaminis was taking place on that day (The taciturn Swazi Prince Makhoselive Nkhosi Dlamini featured most prominently here and on all other vids, albeit without visibly lifting a finger...the success of theis work goes largely to His Royal Highness Makhoselive too! MINUTE
11; SECOND 51 you see the taciturn Prince Makhoselive on the left of the screen
wearing…I am colourblind…red or maroon NIKI label)
3. On Minute 8 Second 10, Blog Writer's cousin RCC Father Smangaliso Mkhatshwa waxes large on the sanity behind this particular family gathering: THAT IS THIS FOLLOWING VID
