Even if it was officially convened, there was no quorum. The meeting was chaired by a non-executive member of the NEC, but the spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>There was no secretariat to take minutes. That is illegal,\u201d Mayisela alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Decision<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the chairperson pointed out that those who took the decision (to expel them) allegedly had no power and authority to suspend, let alone expel them, stating that, \u2018the president is a member of the NEC, he is not the NEC.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe national chairperson position is the highest one in the movement.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson cannot sign the letter of expulsion. Due processes must be followed before such a decision can be taken. The letter for expulsion was signed by an ex-officio member who has no authority to sign it,\u201d Mayisela further argued.<\/p>\n<p>She also made damning allegations that the president (Simelane) would always employ a manipulative strategy and push an intimidation stance on members, hence they would refrain out of fear to express their honest views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why they had to go as far as only selecting and inviting SWALIMO members who worship the president. The content of the letter talks to over 400 members present in the meeting and yet we have gathered that only 146 members were present and to that effect not all of them share the same sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole thing is a joke, and it is sad that the organisation must be subjected to \u2018yo-yo\u2019 politics. The organisation deserves better than this,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n<p>However, \u2018Magawugawu\u2019 has promised to address the allegations against him today on social media platforms.<\/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.
