As exclusively reported by this Swaziland News, gunmen invaded Ludzidzini Palace about two weeks ago, as the second wave of the political unrest intensifies.
A soldier who was providing security at the gate within the Palace was shot and injured.
The political unrest in eSwatini erupted after Mswati banned delivery of petitions and subsequently unleashed soldiers and the police to shoot and kill dozens of civilians for demanding democracy.
