3 KILLED IN DAGGA WARS
MBABANE – A serious dagga shortage has led to three dagga farmers being killed in cold blood by a South African gang which seeks to satisfy the lucrative South African market.
Swaziland, the main supplier to the market in SA, has been hit by a serious shortage after the Royal Swaziland police (RSP) sprayed and destroyed hectares of the illegal herb, mostly in northern Hhohho.
The attackers are said to pretend to be police officers from the RSP.
A man at Herefords in the Hhohho region, Magolide Dlamini, was heavily assaulted by a gang of eight individuals as they demanded dagga from him.
The gang, which is suspected to comprise of South Africans and a Swazi, is said to have descended on the Dlamini homestead.
Dlamini was ordered by the gang to leave the family compound at Ekuthuleni and direct them (gang) to his dagga fields.
Information relayed to this publication by a police officer privy to the information on the investigation, but not authorised to speak to the media, was to the effect that Dlamini was held hostage by the gang of at gunpoint and taken to where he planted his dagga.
“They fired shots in the air as they intimidated him to direct them to where he farmed the dagga. While at the fields, the mob beat him with all sorts of missiles and he lost his teeth in the process.”
The source said Dlamini was severely beaten by the thugs as they kicked him all over the body and also used pangas to assault him.
The source further said Dlamini was kicked severely on his scrotum and was left to die in the fields as the gang made away with his dagga worth over E140 000.
The police officer also stated that Dlamini was found by family members and taken to hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.
The source noted that the pseudo-raid at the Dlamini homestead was accompanied by the theft of the deceased’s motor vehicle.
“They stole a sedan which was an import. It was later found around Mlumati towards Matsamo Border Post which makes us suspect that they were headed for South Africa.”
The source noted that the number of violent incidents have escalated following the spraying of the fields by the police.
