SIVULE:Bheki Dludlu of Sivule in the Shiselweni region is missing after being invited by his friend Mongie Ntshangase for a tour at Sivule Mountains last week.
When this Swaziland News contacted Mongie Ntshangase, the man who invited the missing Sivule resident to explain where he was taking Dludlu to, he said they were going somewhere and the missing resident decided to return home along the way and subsequently disappeared.
“It’s true that I am the one who invited him, we were going somewhere but he decided to return home, that was the last time we saw him. Police took me to the Police Station for questioning and they even searched my cellphones but I was later released”, said the alleged suspect who was contacted on Friday afternoon.
But this investigative journalist subsequently obtained an electronic recording where the suspect Bongie Ntshangase was allegedly talking to another person whose name cannot be revealed as that might compromise investigations, disclosing where the missing Bheki Dludlu was.
“Nalingashona lanamuhla angabuyile sekungafuna simlande vele, ngoba ulapha e-Lokshini kwa-B lakakhonakhona manje.Use-Lokshini kwa-B uhhunguliwe, uyayijayivela uhleli laphana. Batsi sesingamlanda, masifika laphana kumele simbambe sibuye naye.Ukhona u-Bheki bamhhungulile nje lengcondo kuphela”, said the suspect in the cellphone recording obtained by this Swaziland News.
Senior Superintendent Phindile Vilakati, the eSwatini Police Spokesperson declined to comment about the matter.
On another note, relatives of the missing Bheki Dludlu told this publication that, they were shocked to see the police releasing the suspect despite the fact that, he was the one who invited Dludlu to travel to the Sivule Mountains where he disappeared.
