“We should all police each other during the final on Sunday. Let us make sure that we keep the stadium clean and leave it as we found it. If you find someone has lost their possessions, do take it to the relevant authorities. His Majesty has asked us to emphasise that Swazis show unity on Sunday. We all want to go back after the finals happy, no one should go back having regrets,” he said. The Prince also reminded the nation that the match would be shown live on SuperSport thus good behaviour was a must while also wishing the two teams all the best of luck. “We have heard that there will be broadcasters from South Africa showing this match live. Now imagine appearing on TV doing something bad. His Majesty wishes all of you the best. He is excepting all of you to showcase your talent to the maximum on Sunday,” the Prince concluded.
