Ambrose Dlamini was a Swazi business executive who held the office of 10th Prime Minister of Swaziland/Eswatini, from October 2018 until his death on 13 December 2020. PM Dlamini obtained an MBA from Hampton University in Virginia, and had an impressive business portfolio incorporating both the banking and telecommunication sectors. 

Tragically, Dlamini was only 52 when he died of complications related to COVID-19 (he tested positive for the virus on November 16). Initially, the PM was asymptomatic, yet later developed mild symptoms — leading him to check into a South African hospital in early December, with the aim of fast-tracking his recovery. It was reported that Dlamini was responding well to treatment, so his death came as a shock to many of the citizens of Eswatini, particularly in light of the official statement, which noted, “PM Dlamini died while under medical care in a hospital in South Africa,” without giving further details.   

On Monday, December 28, Swaziland News editor Zweli Dlamini reported:

Prime Minister Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini’s corpse was allegedly discovered with symptoms suggesting that he might have died from food poisoning.

An independent investigation by this Swaziland News uncovered that on or around the 26th December 2020, Gogo Mtsetfwa of eSitjeni, an elderly woman tasked with ensuring that royal dead bodies are properly buried allegedly made a shocking discovery, the upper part of the Prime Minister’s corpse particularly the mouth was decaying.

Electronic evidence in our possession suggests that after making the discovery, Gogo Mtsetfwa called other close royal insiders to view the body, she then stated categorically that the Prime Minister did not die of COVID-19 but was poisoned, in Siswati, Mtsetfwa said “Bukani lomuntfu bamdlisile.”

At this point it should be mentioned that Ambrose Dlamini was a faithful member of the Jesus Calls Worship Centre in Mbabane, and had the reputation of being a God-fearing born-again believer.

Earlier in 2020, on June 8, President Pierre Nkurunziza — who served for nearly 15 years as the ninth president of Burundi — suffered a cardiac arrest while in hospital. President Nkurunziza outraged mainstream media when he expelled World Health Organization Officials for mismanaging the COVID-19 scare, and refused to impose COVID restrictions on Burundi. The president was only 55 at the time of his death, and it was suspected that his heart attack was a complication of COVID-19.  When President Nkurunziza took office in 2005, he made it clear to cabinet ministers that prayer would be his priority. In response to his death, Ugandan pastor Robert Kayanja said, “He was a great man of God and a great revivalist.”

Another relatively young African leader, John Magufuli, the fifth President of Tanzania, died in March 2021. On the eve of March 17, Tanzanian Vice President Samia Suluhu announced that Magufuli had died at Emilio Mzena Memorial Hospital in Dar es Salaam at the age of 61. It was later confirmed that his death was related to heart complications. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) claimed opposition politicians were suggesting Magufuli had contracted COVID-19 — which explained why he hadn’t been seen in public for at least two weeks.

President Magufuli was harshly criticized by mainstream media for his stance on COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccines. Unlike many of his critics, John Magufuli was a former chemistry teacher who demonstrated how unreliable PCR tests are. Many of his views are shared by international consumer-protection trial lawyer and founder of the German Coronavirus Investigative Committee Dr. Reiner Fuellmich.

Fuellmich’s Investigative Committee has initiated legal proceedings against the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the UN World Health Organization (WHO), and the Davos Group for allegedly misleading the world over the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, and the consequent measures adopted to control it. To his credit, Dr. Fuellmich has successfully sued large corporations such as Volkswagen and Deutsche Bank. His worldwide network of lawyers collected evidence from hundreds of medical and scientific experts in building their case. According to Fuellmich, a second Nuremberg trial may be needed to prosecute all who are complicit in this unprecedented crime against humanity.

As if there’s no legitimate opposition to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, mainstream media such as the Wall Street Journal continued to disregard Mugufuli’s views. In an article written by Nicholas Bariyo on February 3, President Magufuli was criticized for rejecting social-distancing, imploring Tanzanians to pray against the spread of the disease, failing to report COVID-19 cases to WHO, and believing PCR tests were inaccurate. His health minister, Dorothy Gwajima, was criticized for having no intention of importing COVID-19 vaccines because of her concern regarding their safety.

While logic dictates that faulty PCR tests wouldn’t capture accurate COVID-19 infection statistics for the World Health Organization, and that a vaccine that doesn’t grant immunity or prevent infections and that is documented to have resulted in hospitalizations and deaths (with no liability on the part of its producers) should raise red flags for the health minister of a country, this WSJ article failed to represent the full standpoint of John Mugufuli and Dorothy Gwajima. It also managed to suppress the fact that there’s sufficient controversy in the opinions of expert virologists about mask-wearing and social-distancing to deem their effectiveness inconclusive.  

That three prominent Christian Leaders in Africa have been robbed of life at a relatively young age poses the question: What does this mean for the continent of Africa? It would be fair to suggest that by the very nature of their Christian beliefs, they were men who weren’t likely to embrace a globalist agenda. This means there are three fewer leaders to oppose a globalist government; three fewer leaders to oppose transhumanism; and three fewer leaders to stand in the way of mandating vaccines.
