NGCULWINI:Musa Nsoko, the Ngculwini uMphakatsi Indvuna allegedly clashed with resident Vusi Lawrence Dlamini who stopped a team of Royal Kraal Inner Council(Bandlancane) members from illegally allocating land to sikhonti on Wednesday morning.
Dlamini was driving his cattle to the grazing land next to his father’s home at the banks of Kulozilahla River within KaMabulambinjana community, when he found the Indvuna with some members of the Inner Council(BandlaNcane) conducting what is known as “kubopha lifindvo” in terms of Customary Law.
“What are doing here, nentani lana yeSbali?”, Dlamini asked the Indvuna who replied saying;
“We are here to allocate land to this woman”.
Dlamini then told the Council to immediately disappear from his father’s land before a serious fight erupts, the members of the Inner Council left immediately.
Speaking to this Swaziland News, Dlamini said, the Ngculwini Royal Kraal has adopted a tendency to illegal sell land belonging to individuals within the area.
“There’s no land anymore here at Ngculwini, so they now grab it from the powerless citizens or sell grazing lands. But they cannot sell my father’s land while I’m still alive. We have children who must occupy this land once they have grown-up”, said the resident when speaking to editor Zweli Martin Dlamini.
Reached for comments,Ngculwini Indvuna Musa Nsoko later told this publication that, to the best of their knowledge as uMphakatsi, the land does not belong to Vusi Lawrence Dlamini’s family.
“We are not aware that, the land belongs to his family, it’s just that, it is situated next to his father’s home.Kutsi lendzawo ilaceleni kwalena yakubo”, said the Ngculwini Indvuna.
The area is under uMtfwaneNkhosi Chief Mgebiseni Dlamini.
