King Mswati III calls for preservation of African traditions at Manhyia Durbar
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

King Mswati III of Eswatini has underscored the importance of safeguarding African traditions, describing them as the “heartbeat of our identity.”

He made this remark during a grand durbar held in his honour by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and the people of Asanteman at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.

Addressing a gathering of chiefs, dignitaries, and citizens, King Mswati III said that while it is essential to preserve traditions, it is equally important to assess their relevance in contemporary society.

“Tradition is crucial in keeping the story of our existence alive and in safeguarding sacred symbols for future generations,” he stated.

“However, preservation alone is not enough we must also document and refine our cultural practices to ensure they contribute meaningfully to governance and development.”

The Eswatini monarch lauded Ghana’s integration of traditional authority into local governance structures, describing it as a model worthy of emulation across Africa. He praised the role of traditional leaders in supporting effective governance and ensuring that public services reach the grassroots.

“I was particularly impressed by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assemblies’ incorporation of traditional leadership into administrative processes. It is a powerful example of how culture can enhance service delivery and development,” he noted.

The durbar, a colourful showcase of Asante tradition and heritage, saw thousands of people ranging from traditional leaders and political figures to members of the public gather at the palace to celebrate the visiting monarch.

Rich cultural displays, traditional drumming, and ceremonial regalia highlighted the deep-rooted ties between Eswatini and the Ashanti Kingdom.

King Mswati III, accompanied by elders, royal family members, and officials, received a rousing welcome as he and Otumfuo Osei Tutu II arrived at the event grounds.

The moment drew loud cheers from the crowd, many of whom had gathered early to witness the historic occasion.

Delivering a message on behalf of the Asantehene, the Paramount Chief of Asante Juaben Traditional Area, Nana Otuo Siriboe II, described the visit as a reaffirmation of the deep ancestral bonds shared by African monarchies.

“Your presence here is not just ceremonial it rekindles the sacred ties that bind African thrones and peoples together,” he said.

“It reflects our shared destiny and the enduring belief in the resilience and future of the African continent.”

He further acknowledged King Mswati III as a fellow custodian of tradition and a symbol of the strength that African cultures bring to the modern era.

“Our proud traditions must continue to evolve alongside modern advancements. As traditional leaders, we have a duty to pass on this legacy to future generations—not as relics of the past, but as living forces that guide our development.”

The durbar is one of several events lined up as part of King Mswati III’s five-day official visit to Ghana, which includes engagements in Accra and Kumasi.
