MBABANE: Siboniso Mkhabela, the influential member of the People’s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO) has called for the isolation of political organizations hiding in the Mass Democratic Movement(MDM) yet they are undercover supporters of the cruel and oppressive Tinkhundla system.
Addressing Community of Organizers during a meeting held at Caritas, Manzini on Wednesday, the vibrant PUDEMO member said those who want to legitimize the system by participating in elections are supporters of the current regime who were fortunate enough in find a hiding space in the pro-democracy movement.
He said already, there were over thirty(30) pro-democracy Members of Parliament(MPs) inside the current Parliament who are failing to change the system.
The Community of Organizers is a collaboration of members of political parties who work together to intensify the struggle for democracy at community level.
“In fact the three(3) MPs were smart enough to use the Swaziland News online media platform to enlighten the Swazis. Notably, the three MPs were indeed revolutionary when they started visiting the people on the ground. They visited the Maziya family in Nhlane, I remember comrade ‘Awviva’ gave comrade Nhlanhla Magongo my number which he didn’t have at the time so that we could attend to this issue of the worker from Mhlume who was killed by Simunye police. We missed that change as the MDM, MP Bacede led a delegation of MPs and they visited that family. They became revolutionary when they visited the family of the Swazi killed by Rangers. It was revolutionary for the MPs to ride in the “Justice for Thabani” protest,” said the PUDEMO Executive Commitee member.
