MBABANE: Richard Vilane, the Hosea Indvuna yeNkhundla says his benefit from the Youth Fund does not mean he is a sellout.
Speaking to this Swaziland News after this publication reported that he received R100,000.00 from Mswati’s Government, the Hosea Constituency Headman said the money he received from Government was a loan adding that any young person can apply for it.
“It is very difficult to get this money, but I decided to try my luck after my business was affected by the COVID-19. I applied for the loan with the Youth Fund while I was thirty-four(34) years and I am paying back the loan at Four Thousand Rands (R4,000.00) per month. This money is not for Government but it’s taxpayers money”, he said.
The Hosea Indvuna said it was not true that he has dumped the struggle adding that even though he was not vocal, he supported the struggle in many ways like buying food for protestors at the High Court.
