ARREST PM FOR BREAKING RULES – EFF SWAZILAND

MANZINI – The newly- formed EFF Swaziland wants Prime Minister (PM) Ambrose Dlamini to be arrested for allegedly breaking the COVID-19 Regulations.

This follows the article which was published by our sister publication, the Times of Eswatini Sunday, which was titled; ‘PM Mandvulo breaks COVID-19 Regulations’ and the political party wants the PM arrested along  with the President of the League of Churches, Bishop Samson Hlatjwako and the Minister of Home Affairs, Princess Lindiwe.

Morning

The Economic Freedom Fighters of Swaziland (EFFSWA), which is also called EFF Swaziland, through the Central Command Team (CCT) or interim National Executive (NEC) President, Ncamiso Ngcamphalala and 2nd National Spokesperson Bandzile Mngomezulu, went to the Manzini Police Station yesterday morning to open a case against the PM.

In fact, the political party made its intention to open the case against the PM for allegedly breaking the COVID-19 Regulations known on Sunday as it issued a statement. In the statement, the political party said their interim president, Ngcamphalala, would open a case at the Manzini Police Station yesterday at 9:30am against the PM for allegedly breaking the COVID-19 lockdown Regulations.

However, the interim president, who was accompanied by Mngomezulu, arrived at the Manzini Police Station just after 9am and they went to the reception where they made their intentions known to a female officer who attended to them.

According to the interim president, they were met by a situation they had not come across before at the police station.
He told this publication that the female officer allegedly refused to take his statement. Instead, he alleged the female officer referred them to the Manzini Police Regional Headquarters where they found the Regional Commissioner, Senior Assistant Commissioner Simon Mlilo.
Upon meeting the regional commissioner, Ngcamphalala alleged that the former called police officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and senior officers from the regional headquarters.

“It was a very unfamiliar scene,” Ngcamphalala claimed.
Thereafter, the interim president alleged that the regional commissioner made telephonic consultations with his superiors, which allegedly lasted for about an hour.

Meet

“Afterwards, we were told that we had to meet the National Commissioner (NATCOM) of Police, William Dlamini, tomorrow (today) at 11am at the Manzini Police Regional Headquarters,” the interim president claimed.

He said they were told this after spending about two hours at both the Manzini Police Station and the regional headquarters.
In that regard, the interim president said the situation came as shock to him because he never thought that opening a case needed consultations and even meeting the NATCOM in person.

He said he believed that cases could be opened in a short space of time even when done by a police officer who just finished his/her training.
Meanwhile, by the time of going to print, Chief Police Information and Communications Officer Superintendent Phindile Vilakati said she had not received information about the matter.
