FRESH INVESTIGATION INTO MISS DEAF SEX ALLEGATIONS

MBABANE –There is a new twist in the Miss Deaf sex allegations saga as SBPA plans to reinvestigate with immediate effect.
This comes after six months of investigation by the police failed to yield any results with regards to the matter.

About two months ago the police through Inspector Khulani Mamba cited lack of evidence as the main reason the matter was not concluded.
SBPA’s President Tony Dlamini said just for the benefit of the girls as they were unhappy with the pronouncement by the police they have resorted to start the matter afresh so as to see if there is really ‘no evidence’.

“The girls we are talking about here are very hurt that after what they reportedly went through some people feel there is no evidence in it hence we have taken it upon ourselves to launch  new investigations on the matter,” said Dlamini.
He stated in particular that one of the investigation strategies will include that the complainants be interviewed individually in the presence of media representatives so as to be transparent as possible.

“We are going to engage Arts and Culture to fund an interpreter who will enhance the interview and possibly we will hire the same domestic worker who is the same interpreter who facilitated the confessions they made with the police,” he added.
Dlamini then said he was hoping that the new DPM will help them in as far as the matter was concerned.

“The reason we will involve the media is that there is a difference getting confessions from a report than to get them directly from the victim. Also there are people who feel we strategically made the report so the second investigation on the matter will surely prove that we had nothing to do with it,” he explained.

The accused director of the pageant said she was happy that the association wants more truth from what the police got.
“I have no problem to be honest, at least now they have taken it upon themselves to investigate the matter than to manipulate the disabled children. They should go ahead but I wish more would be investigated, the pageants which are asked about and the directors as well,” said former Miss Deaf Director Nokuthula Mbatha.

Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture’ CEO Stanley Dlamini said he will formally comment once he has received a formal report from the association.

Sought for comment, Police Superintendent Wendy Hleta said as the police they had done everything they were supposed to do in as far as the matter is concerned.
“In any case they find something new they are welcome to bring it to us,” she said.
