Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>A car with a pool of blood inside was escorted by a convoy to the Siteki Police Station on Sunday after Mswati\u2019s police shot and killed Thandekile Kunene and three others at Mpaka Shopping Complex.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dumsani Mgwazo Tsabedze, a member of Umbutfo Eswatini Defense Force(UEDF) is among those who were killed during the shooting.<\/p>\n

It has been disclosed Dumsani Mgwazo Tsabedze, Thandekile Kunene were killed after being found in possession of a safe with money after an alleged break-in at the Shopping Complex.<\/p>\n

Police Spokesperson Superintendent Phindile Vilakati had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments, Siboniso Mkhabela, an influential member of the People\u2019s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO) who visited the family on Sunday shortly after the shooting and mandated by the community organizers to speak about this matter, described the killing of Thandekile Kunene and other residents as an act of police brutality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a case of theft or drunk youths. Police failed to apprehend the real culprits and preyed on these vulnerable young people.This is a clear case of police brutality. Police continue to butcher our people like wild animals.The \u2018eye for an eye\u2019 operation as sanctioned by King Mswati III has officially begun. Our people must be more vigilant.Ironically, a soldier who is supposed to protect and defend the King has fallen victim of this maniac royal command,\u201d said the influential member of PUDEMO.<\/p>\n

Thandekile\u2019s family members who rushed to the scene after the shooting cried hysterically after seeing her lifeless body on the ground.<\/p>\n

On another note, Siboniso Mkhabela, the influential PUDEMO member said on Monday(22 August 2022), there would be a prayer service at the scene where the residents were killed. He urged residents and pro-democracy activists to attend the prayer at Mpaka Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n
