It has been disclosed that Senzo Dlamini, whose home is situated at Elangeni was using his cell phone number 76070050 when he attacked the teachers union President.

A senior official at the Royal Science and Technology Park  (RSTP) who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed that Dlamini was their employee adding that he was worried about his conduct.

“You see now, because of his conduct this story will put our company on the spotlight. There is a political tension in this country these days and you don’t just speak anyhow, people are angry”, said the senior Manager at the  RSTP

Senzo Dlamini lost Parliamentary elections two times under Lobamba Inkhundla, he was later employed by the Science and Technology Park situated at Nokwane Matsapha.
