The Minister for Home Affairs Her Royal Highness Princess Lindiwe invited Emaswati to pray for peace and stability in an annual all-night Prayer organized by Voice of the Church (VOC) held at Mavuso Trade Centre on Friday.
Princess Lindiwe said her speech is evidence that Emaswati embrace the true Gospel of Jesus Christ because it is the first public address by Eswatini Government in the year 2020. The Minister read different scriptures in 1Samuel 7:12, Mattew 28:26 and Psalms 86:6-9. The minister assured the gathering that God listens and answer prayers. “As Emaswati let us look to him, worship him at all times because all nations shall bow to him”. She added that the Kingdom of Eswatini Government respects people rights when it comes to worship hence there is freedom of worship to all religions. This is done in observing Section 23 of the constitution of 2005.

Thousands of Emaswati from all corners of the Kingdom attended the prayer.
