MBABANE: Mduduzi Magawugawu Simelane, the President of the Swaziland Liberation Movement(SWALIMO) has rushed to release a statement, amid fears that the eSwatini Government might declare his organization a terrorist entity ahead of the Tinkhundla undemocratic elections.

This comes after some suspects allegedly linked to the Underground Forces incriminated Simelane during police investigation.

The police are alleged to have found incriminating evidence against Magawugawu Simelane and some of his family members, including his ‘son’ Zweli Simelane(not LaZwide’s child) was arrested in the process.

Police sources told this publication that the police are also investigating an incest case between incarcerated Zweli Simelane and Siphofaneni Member of Parliament(MP) Nomalungelo Simelane(LaZwide) after going through the terrorism suspect phone and downloaded Whatsap messages between the two.

An incest is a criminal act emerging when two people who are related are alleged to be and/or to have engaged in sexual intercourse.

But Simelane who is alleged to be linked to the Underground Forces blamed other political organizations that they were working with the government to declare his entity as a terrorist organization.

“We are fully aware that these evil elements are active around the clock persuading the Swazi Government with different gimmicks to label SWALIMO as a terrorist organization so that the movement can be dislodged in its resolution to participate in the upcoming national elections where we believe that with credible cadres as members of parliament, we stand a chance of fighting the enemy from within, without a single drop of blood shed,” reads the statement released by SWALIMO Spokesperson Thandaza Silolo.

Magawugawu is alleged to have recruited Thabo Kunene, the incarcerated alleged Commander of the Solidarity Forces through his “Sabela Uyabizwa” underground operation, however, Kunene later dumped Simelane forces after the former MP failed to provide food within the camp.

Other members of the Underground Forces who resigned from Simelane “Sabela Uyabizwa” include Mlandvo Khumalo and others who are now incarcerated and believed to be incriminating him, like Thabo Kunene, Mlandvo later joined the Solidarity Forces.
