LUYENGO: A truck was burnt at Luyengo in the early morning hours on Thursday after the police brutalized protestors in Mbabane merely for protesting in support of incarcerated pro-democracy Members of Parliament(MPs) Bacede Mabuza and Mthandeni Dube.
It has been disclosed that attack on the peaceful pro-democracy protestors was a well-planned State machinery as per an operation order prepared by Mswati’s police and subsequently exposed by this Swaziland News on Tuesday.
The burning of the truck was confirmed by  Sikhumbuzo Dlamini, a public transport worker who services Luyengo and Manzini.
“It’s true, we saw the burnt truck in the morning an it’s there,” said the public transport worker.
Phindile Vilakati, the police Spokesperson had not responded at the time of compiling this report.
On another note, the Commander of the Swaziland International Solidarity Forces(SISF) when speaking to this publication on Wednesday night said even though they had a list of people they were targeting, they were now working under pressure to attack police officers to send a message after the State brutality on Wednesday.
Last week, the Solidarity Forces invaded the house of Lubulini Station Commander Bheka Mabuza,a dramatic shoot-out with the police subsequently erupted after the forces forced entry into the house at Lubulini Police Camp.
“I suggest that you wait for my call because as we speak the team is on the ground monitoring one of the targets,we will update you once we hit. I told the team that if they are still conducting surveillance on specific targets, they must at least invade any home of a police officer and kill everything there so that we can retaliate in response to what happened today(yesterday),” said the Commander.
King Mswati’s police kidnapped protestors including women on Wednesday, forced them into a truck, the protestors were later dumped at Mvutshini after being heavily assaulted.
It is alleged that the King, through his security forces has killed dozens of civilians since the political unrest started last year.
