Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Acting Prime Minister, Themba Masuku, has assured the nation that the police service has made progress in their investigations in respect of the violence engulfing the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Masuku said drastic and practical steps were being implemented by all the security services to ensure the safety and protection of the nation.<\/p>\n

His statement comes after police reported that they had arrested a man who was found with explosives, bullets and camouflage uniform belonging to the Umbutfo Eswatini Defence Force (UEDF) at Mbhuleni yesterday.<\/p>\n

Two others were arrested in relation to arson attacks. This after the recent scourge of attacks and killings of members of the security services as well as arson attacks on private and public property.<\/p>\n

Masuku said the nation was aware of the threats, violence and intimidation that have been imposed by the random killing of state security officers in the country, the destruction of both business and private properties and of government structures, which were meant for people\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nation will be aware that the state of violence to which the country has been subjected to, has also resulted in creating a conducive environment for social aggression,\u201d said Masuku<\/p>\n

He also highlighted that the country was witnessing an alarming rise in the number of people who were killed in drinking halls (bars) and other related social gatherings.<\/p>\n

He urged the nation to work together with government to create a peaceful environment that would be suitable for a dialogue in a free manner and share ideas in terms of how best to build a stable and prosperous country for which future generations shall be grateful to inherit.<\/p>\n

Masuku had called a press conference at Cabinet offices yesterday, where he stated that government had mobilised all resources at its disposal to enable the security forces to perform their respective national duties to contain the scourge of violence and protect all Emaswati and their properties as well as to safeguard the interests and sovereignty of the kingdom.<\/p>\n

He further warned the nation to refrain from accepting cash payments in exchange for committing heinous crimes as this could backfire should they fail to execute such crimes.<\/p>\n

Masuku advised the public to be aware that if it happened that they received cash and failed to deliver on their promise, they might be the next victim in the hands of the killers,<\/p>\n

He further urged the nation to be vigilant whenever there were individuals who conduct themselves in a suspicious manner in their respective communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cNawe uliphoyisa, together, we can close the space for all kinds of criminal activities that flourish in our midst,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The acting premier further encouraged the nation to report any suspicious activities they noticed around their surroundings and communities to the police through the emergency line 999\/9999 or 112 national disaster management line.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving mentioned the above, government is pleased to inform the nation that the police are making progress in their investigations in respect of the recent acts of violence,\u201d he said. Masuku, however, did not reveal any details regarding the progress made in this regard.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Police Information and Communications Officer, Inspector Nosipho Mnguni, earlier confirmed that the police had rounded up some suspects for questioning in relation to the ongoing attacks.<\/p>\n

She clarified that no one had been arrested as yet but the police were continuing with their investigations.<\/p>\n
