Army Commander Sobantu Dlamini sent a stern warning to the Umbutfo Swaziland Defence Force (USDF) recruits against drinking buganu or engaging in sexual activities prior to the pass-out day tomorrow.
Over 1 000 recruits are expected to pass-out in the ceremony that will be conjoined with the Army Day that was last held in 2015.
Dlamini said this during the army’s last rehearsals held at the army’s headquarters at Phocweni yesterday.
Dlamini said he does not expect the recruits to embarrass him and themselves in front of the army’s Commander-in-Chief His Majesty King Mswati III, thus they should refrain from buganu and sexual activities until after the event.
“I wish you all the best of luck during the pass-out day but make sure you don’t embarrass me and yourselves in front of Their Majesties on Friday (tomorrow).
“This you will achieve by staying sober and abstaining from sex,” he said.
Collapsing of soldiers in events of this nature has been witnessed over the years mainly due to soaring temperatures, not just in Swaziland but other countries.
After the pass-out, the recruits will be posted to different barracks to assume their duties as soldiers.
