MBABANE:Editor Zweli Martin Dlamini has called for a high level investigation into the death of Russell Nxumalo, the Commissioner of Cooperative Development in the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade.
The editor said Nxumalo’s death leaves a lot of unanswered questions particularly because, he was fighting corruption facing a dangerous mafia within Cooperatives and therefore, his sudden death should be investigated.
“I’ve known him for close to twenty(20) years as a man of integrity who hates corruption and his death shocked me. He recently sent me a message saying he wants us to discuss something so now I’m left with unanswered questions regarding what he wanted to say considering the corruption within Cooperatives,” said the editor.
The editor urged the police to investigate Nxumalo’s movements between Friday and Sunday and the people he was enjoying drinks with a few hours before he died. He then sent condolences to the family, the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Trade Mancoba Khumalo and the Government, relatives and friends following the death of the Commissioner-Cooperative Development.
