The Army Commander was travelling in his private car, an Audi, when he met Makhanya on the South African side of the border, this journalist was also at the Oshoek border when the confrontation happened.<\/p>\n

When the Army Commander arrived at the South African immigration offices, he looked at the PUDEMO President, those he was traveling with were heard speaking in hushed tone \u201cHere is the President of PUDEMO\u201d,<\/p>\n

It was then that the PUDEMO President looked straight at the Army Commander and subsequently asked him why he was looking at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cUngibukani?(meaning: Why are you looking at me?)\u201d, asked the PUDEMO President as he confronted the Army Commander.<\/p>\n

Fakudze later drove towards the Swazi side, parked at PUMA filling station and went straight to order the police on the eSwatini side to monitor if Makhanya was entering the country or not.<\/p>\n
