MANZINI: Newly elected Siphofaneni Member of Parliament(MP) Nomalungelo Simelane(LaZwide) has donated five thousand Rands(R5,000.00) to victims of army brutality who are currently hospitalized at the Raleigh Fitkin Memorial(RFM) Hospital.
Speaking to this Swaziland News on Saturday, the Honourable MP said she was assisted by concerned Swazis outside the country who sent her to deliver the donation.
“It’s true that I delivered the donation but it didn’t come from me, it was a collective contribution with other Swazis outside the country who sent me to deliver it to the victims. We believe these Swazis were brutalized while trying to address certain issues affecting the country, so we sympathize with them,” said the MP when speaking to editor Zweli Martin Dlamini on Saturday.
The victims were brutalized during the recent protests by public transport workers that manifested into a demand for the release of incarcerated MPs Bacede Mabuza and Mthandeni Dube. MP LaZwide visited the victims on Thursday.
