Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Bonginkosi \u2018IB\u2019 Dlamini, the Convenor of the United Eswatini Diaspora(UED) has written a letter to the South African(SA) Police Commissioner amid allegations suggesting that,some members of the SA law enforcement agency were being paid by Mswati to arrest political activists hiding in the neighboring country.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt has since come to our attention that there could be some rogue elements in the South African Police Service(SAPS) that are working for the King Mswati regime. It is said these rogue elements may be in the payroll of King Mswati to do his dirty job of tracking, arresting and handing over of some of the Eswatini\u2019s pro-democracy activists to his autocratic regime,\u201dreads the letter in part.<\/p>\n

Efforts to reach the South African Police Spokesperson proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments, King\u2019s Spokesperson Percy Simelane demanded evidence suggesting that the King was paying South African police officers to abduct political activists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall wait until we are furnished evidence before we can take a position on it. As a country we only have records of working openly through INTERPOL and regional police service when there is a need to trace a criminal suspect to appear in a court of law.For now we feel we should allow the South African Police Service to investigate and make their findings public,\u201d said the King\u2019s Spokesperson.<\/p>\n
