Ngwenya was allegedly spying the editor’s family, reporting even senior members of royal family who would visit the editor’s home.

As a result, the police almost killed the editor’s wife in April 2020 demanding that, she reveals his whereabouts and the names of high profile who used to visit the editor.He was subsequently evicted by Dlamini and fled the area together with his wife and children about two(2) years ago however, residents of LaMgabhi eTiyeni informed the editor that they saw him walking in the area last week and three(3) days later, the remains of the home were burnt again by the unknown people.

The editor reported the police to the Eswatini Human Rights Commission in 2020 for abducting his wife and torturing him, however, the Commission sabotaged the case thus placing the police in a vulnerable situation to be dealt with by unknown people in their personal capacity.
