ZISHWILI MAY, MAY NOT RETURN - PM

NGWENYA – Going on leave could literally mean the end of your job as you know it.

This is deduced from Prime Minister Barnabas Sibusiso Dlamini’s response concerning the future of his Head of Security, Assistant Commissioner Paul Zishwili, who has reportedly gone on leave.
“Niyati nani uhamba uye elivini; enccenye uyabuya encenye awubuyi,” meaning, “you know the nature of taking leave; you may return or you may not return.”

He said it was up to those in charge of security to decide what would happen, adding that all would be settled when Zishwili returned from leave.
 The Prime Minister said this when responding to questions during a press conference on his return from the African Union Summit in Rwanda.

Two months leave

The leave according to the Chief Police Information and Communications Officer (PICO) Superintendent Khulani Mamba is for a period of two months.
This is after there have been several rumours about why the PM’s longest serving bodyguard Zishwili had been removed from the premier’s security detail but the police are sticking to the version that the senior police officer is not feeling well. The prime minister said the issue of security always evolved.

“You can all attest that the country experienced difficulties in terms of security for individuals, as opposed to the country’s security as a whole,” the PM said.
He said it was important to always evaluate and re-plan his security detail as it was very important that he as the premier is safe at all times.

“The security of individuals such as the PM was always under scrutiny and can never be stagnant. The NATCOM responded correctly when he said that Zishwili had taken leave.”
He said there was nothing that the assistant commissioner had done wrong just that security arrangements were revised constantly and that is why certain changes have taken place.
