EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this black and white portrait from 1922, we witness a moment of immense significance in Swaziland's history. The photograph showcases the enigmatic figure of Ex Queen Regent Labotsibeni, who holds within her hands the coveted secret of rain making. This secret is crucial for the coronation of Sobhuza, the ruler designate, as without it he cannot ascend to his rightful position. Labotsibeni stands tall and regal, her presence commanding respect and awe. Beside her stands Chief Sobhuza himself, eager to receive this sacred knowledge that will solidify his reign. The intensity between them is palpable; their destinies intertwined in this pivotal exchange. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to the image, transporting us back to a bygone era where tradition and rituals held great power. Central News has masterfully captured this historic moment with its Europeana photography collection. This print serves as a reminder of the intricate tapestry woven by royalty throughout history. It invites us to ponder on the weight carried by those entrusted with ancient secrets and how they shape nations. As we gaze upon Labotsibeni's determined expression and Sobhuza's hopeful stance, we are reminded that behind every crown lies stories untold – stories that have shaped kingdoms for centuries.
