PUDEMO: WE’D NEVER CELEBRATE EX-PM’S DEATH

MBABANE – “We would never, as an organisation, celebrate the death of anyone.”

These were the sentiments of People’s United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) President Mlungisi Makhanya. Makhanya said in actual fact as, PUDEMO, they would have loved the former Prime Minister (PM) Sibusiso Barnabas Dlamini to have lived longer to see the true democratic Eswatini so that he may realise that he should have done better as opposed to delaying the inevitable freedom of the people in the country. Makhanya said it would be very important when remembering the life of the former PM to bear in mind that he had served the country for a very long time. He said it was his last 10 to 12 years of service, where the worst of him was seen.

According to Makhanya, the late ex-PM placed himself as a cheap prefect of the system. He said people could make a mistake that and think the late ex-PM was responsible for the oppressive system, yet he was just a mere chief prefect of the system. According to Makhanya, as PUDEMO, they did not believe that the problems of the people in the country would go away now that the ex-PM was gone. He said as an organisation, they were fighting to bring about a humane society, where there will never be a celebration of someone elses demise as it could happen to anyone.

Makhanya said the ex-PM would be remembered fairly of his last years in public office, where he positioned himself to be prime defender of the system and the chief architect of the suffering of many people, in particular the workers and the poorest of the poor. “PUDEMO is one of the main organisations which had paid a heavy price of his unfortunate later days, including the passage of the Suppression of Terrorism Act and the murder of our late comrade Sipho, Jele.”

He said ythe ex-PM was the one who established the enquiry which was engineered to arrive at the predetermined results which would never be forgotten. Makhanya also said they would never forget the ex-PM’s treatment to the late Ben Zwane, on how he was removed in Parliament in a rainy weather.
