SWALIMO can confirm that Mabuza (Umshengu or Agent 001) is a former member and leader based abroad who was pursuing SWALIMO to join his underground activity and eventually agreed to leave the movement to pursue his ambition of fighting for the liberation on his own means because the movement had rejected his requests. As such we disassociate ourselves from any combat activities and\/or those of Mabuza.<\/p>\n<p>As a movement we maintain our belief on peaceful means to attain freedom and democracy. To an extent that on the 6th September 2022, the SWALIMO leaders meeting reiterated its position and resolution to this effect. Hence, all the leaders are very clear on this position of fighting through peaceful and legal means to be able to also fulfil our objective to educate, mobilise and liberate.The Movement is currently looking forward to the national dialogue to address the country\u2019s political and economic reforms.On this note, we encourage all Swazi people to be resilient and continue the fight for their birth right of justice, freedom and democracy,\u201d reads the statement released by Spokesperson Thandaza Silolo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
