MBABANE:Ncamiso Ngcamphalala,the former President of Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) Swaziland who dumped the struggle for democracy to join the Tinkhundla system has allegedly lost Government funding. 

Ngcamphalala “is working with Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo” in doing layouts for an insulting online platform used to attack those with different political views,the platform is allegedly owned by Government and it’s editor is Alpheous Nxumalo.

The former EFF Swaziland President first received State funds or taxpayer’s money through the Youth Fund to establish a car wash at Ezulwini,he was rewarded for his layout services and being an alleged spy for the State.

But the car wash subsequently collapsed after Ngcamphalala defrauded the Water Services Corporation by illegally connecting pipes to divert water to his car wash allegedly, with intent to avoid paying a huge bill,the Water Services subsequently closed the water supply.

Nxumalo is allegedly the writer and editor of the platform funded by Government,insulting public figures including King’s Spokesperson Percy Simelane,Lobamba Lomdzala Member of Parliament(MP) Marwick Khumalo,with the latest victim of the insults being convicted MP Bacede Mabuza who was told by the Government Spokesperson to apologize to the King otherwise,”he will lose all his wives”.

The Government Spokesperson was commenting amid media reports suggesting that,Hloniphile Mabuza,the wife to the convicted MP took Mabuza to court demanding child maintenance,Nxumalo later announced that, he will temporarily stop publishing in the insulting platform but will be back.

“We will be right back,sincere apologies for any inconvenience”, Nxumalo wrote in his online platform,however,members of the public told him to go and never come back.

But Nxumalo was blasted on social media after insulting MP Marwick Khumalo and the criticism became worse after he told convicted MP Bacede Mabuza to apologize to the King otherwise he will lose all his wives.

The Government Spokesperson declined to comment about the matter while the former EFF Swaziland President released a video complaining that,he was being blocked from attending State events despite holding invitation cards.

“People are now abusing their close relations to the King by providing invitation cards to their friends, those people sit in our tables and as invites guests we end-up not sitting in the important tables”, said the former EFF Swaziland President.

It is alleged that,despite joining the Tinkhundla system,Ngcamphalala was also leaking State information trying to convince members of the pro-democracy activists that,he was still with them.

The information about Ngcamphalala spying the Tinkhundla system did not go down well some Cabinet Ministers who were trying to approve the funding for him.

Sources alleged that,the State Intelligence informed Government Spokesperson about a plot to arrest PUDEMO President Mlungisi Makhanya, MultiStakeholder Forum(MSF) lawyer Sicelo Mngomezulu and editor Zweli Martin Dlamini and frame them on a matter that is troubling Government internationally but,Nxumalo and Ngcamphalala then leaked that information through their insulting platform.

But it remains unclear if they did so intentionally or they were publishing while pushing the agenda of the Tinkhundla system.

“That information was only shared to Nxumalo and he texted that boy who is doing the layout for the platform. The platform was established to create confusion on serious matters and divide the public opinion not to pre-empty secretive plans for the State on how to deal with terrorists”, said one Cabinet Minister in a leacked Whatsap voice note.

But it appears in the voice note that King’s Interpreter Sihle Dlamini was among those who were facilitating Government support for Ngcamphalala and trying to bring him closer to royalty.

It is alleged that, Ngcamphalala is beginning to lose Tinkhundla support after failing to handle sensitive information,in the voice notes leacked to this publication,Ngcamphalala and Nxumalo,the editor of the platform are accused of failing to attack the pro-democracy movement in a manner that does not expose the King or Government plans on how to deal with terrorists.

EmaSwati with different political views are branded as terrorists by the Tinkhundla regime.

Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo now writes for the Eswatini Positive News and it remains to be seen if he will continue insulting public figures even in that platform.

Eswatini Positive News is run by professional journalists who once worked for the Eswatini Observer and Times,the online publication also funded by Government.
