MANZINI:Clement Maphila Sihlongonyane, the eSwatini Senior police Superintendent visited Dups Funeral Services on Tuesday to update his funeral cover.
The senior cop who is highly expected to retire on the 18th December 2023, is wanted dead by members of the pro-democracy Underground Forces for allegedly killing innocent civilians during the political unrest. He survived a hail of bullets at Sthobelweni where he had gone to hunt members of the Swaziland International Solidarity Forces (SISF).
A questionnaire was sent to Sihlongonyane, however, he had not responded at the time of compiling this report.
But insiders who alerted this journalist about Sihlongonyane’s visit at the Manzini Dups offices now known as United Holdings, told this Swaziland News that the senior cop was making sure that his funeral cover was updated.
“He is making sure that his funeral cover is updated”, said the insider within Dups Funeral Services.
Reached for comments, Sibongile Mazibuko, the President of the Ngwane National Liberatory Congress (NNLC) urged the senior cop to apologize and reconcile with the Nation instead of rushing to update funeral covers.
“Sihlongonyane must apologise for what he did and reconcile with the Nation.The Monarchy and the Government that was using him to kill innocent civilians, is nowhere to be found now. Some senior officers were recently promoted by the King and he was left behind. This means he is only used to kill the people nothing else, when it comes to promotions, there are officers who are trusted by the King more than him. Akacolise waSihlongonyane so that noma kwenteka ahamba abuyela ku-Nkulunkulu atihambele kahle,” said the NNLC President.
