Contents

He was born on 23 October 1959 to Prince Johannes Mkolishi Dlamini and his wife Catherine Sihlangu and took over as the chief of Embhuleni in 1988 following his father's death. [1]

Political role and regional advocacy

In September 1993, Chief Cambridge Makhosonke Dlamini made a formal submission to South Africa’s Multi-Party Negotiating Process concerning the delimitation of regional borders affecting the KaNgwane area. Acting on behalf of several Swazi traditional leaders in the KaNgwane homelands and surrounding regions, he argued that the majority of inhabitants in the area identified culturally and linguistically as Swazi (emaSwati), spoke siSwati, and historically owed allegiance to the Swazi monarchy. [3]

The submission asserted that the eastern border between South Africa and the Kingdom of Swaziland (now Kingdom of Eswatini) had not been conclusively finalised at the country's independence in 1968 and remained subject to bilateral negotiations between Eswatini and South African governments. [3] It called for the postponement of any permanent regional boundary decisions affecting KaNgwane and parts of the Eastern Transvaal (now Mpumalanga) until an agreement was reached for the possible incorporation of KaNgwane into the Kingdom of Swaziland based on historical, cultural and political considerations, a battle started by his father Chief Mkolishi in the 1970s. [3] [4]

Personal life

In 2018, Prince Makhosonke publicly declared his Christian faith, stating, "I also ask for wisdom from God as I lead because there are many temptations in leadership positions." [5]
