NEHAWU PLEDGES FULL SUPPORT FOR MOVEMENT

NGWENYA- The National Education Health Allied Workers Union (NEHAWU) has pledged full support for pro-democracy movement in Eswatini.

The South African workers union said its primary objective was to liberate the people of Eswatini. As a result, it promised to give full financial support to the pro-democracy movement calling upon the liberation of Eswatini. “If it means that we have to take up arms with Eswatini, so be it. Our intelligence as federations, political parties and trade unions is beyond what the Eswatini regime has. We cannot plan what we ought to do in the general public because the regime will always be ready for us once we communicate our plan in public. If we plan in public, we will all die once we go there,” said Funny Ngwenyama, Provision Chairman of NEHAWU.

Warned

Ngwenyama warned that some people were eager to encourage others to go to war yet they were the first ones to run away. He said the political formations needed to engage and decide on the next move, collectively.  He urged members of the political formations not to allow the collapse of gatherings in a foreign jurisdiction, stating that such gatherings were not allowed in Eswatini.  He warned the members against any form of misconduct towards their leaders. However, in an interview after the event, Ngwenyama stated that he blamed no one since members were pushed by frustration to behave disorderly during the protest. He said he was happy with the attendance, despite the hardships faced by the fellow comrades from Eswatini.

Strategy

Meanwhile, Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) Secretary General Thokozani Kunene said their strategy was to ensure that every family in Eswatini provided a member to be in the frontline of the struggle. He said it should reach a stage where every family would attest that one of their own was part of the struggle. “If it calls for a raid to ensure that we have all people in the struggle, we should not isolate even a single homestead. The regime cannot win us once we have all family members in the struggle,” Kunene said. He added that their sole purpose was to ensure that they stopped the economic wheel so that industries would come to a standstill. He said sabotage to the regime would be done no matter what. He said they were aware of the labelling of freedom fighters as insurgents to legitimise brutality.  Members of SWALIMO were called to order as Kunene made his address.
