Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>MBABANE \u2013 The Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA) says deploying government buses will not help ease the situation in the country unless government engages the people.<\/b><\/p>\n

TUCOSWA Secretary General (SG) Mduduzi Gina was responding regarding government\u2019s decision to deploy buses. He said the country was faced with a political problem, which required a political solution. \u201cWe note government\u2019s reaction of instituting legal processes for declaratory orders against the workers and the owners of public transport. This is a cheap and overused and failed mechanism to silence a population with political complaints. This move has clearly scandalised the expected integrity of the courts. It is our view that courts should be protected from being persuaded to issue rulings with clear prospects of being unenforceable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gina said the country was in a state of complete confusion. He noted that government provided transport within the Mbabane and Manzini corridor, among other routes. He said it was a very interesting and unprecedented step by a government, which was failing to provide fuel to run basic needs of the population. \u201cWe have learnt that operations at the Nhlangano Health Centre have been drastically scaled down due to fuel shortages. The government easily forgets that the real economy of the country is outside the Mbabane and Manzini corridor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adding, Gina said it was clear that government\u2019s intentions were to forge a resemblance of normalcy. \u201cIn the process, it exposes them to the reality that they care less about what happens outside their own vicinity. There is just no way how workers could be reasonably expected to be at work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
