Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Siboniso Mkhabela, the Head of International Relations within the People\u2019s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO) has urged political activists and other Swazis calling for democracy to remain resolute,and if need be, be prepared to kill in defence of their lives.<\/b><\/p>\n

Addressing mourners at the funeral of Swazis First Democratic Front(SFDF)Deputy Secretary General Muzi Mmema on Sunday morning,the PUDEMO influential member reminded political activists that self-defence was not a crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t think or mislead yourself that if you are not a political leader, the enemy will not kill you. It\u2019s risky these days to even drive your car from Mbabane to Manzini wearing a t-shirt of your organization. We don\u2019t encourage people to kill others, kodvwa-ke uma ngabe kubita kutsi ubulale kuze lemphilo yakho ingabulawa, so be it(meaning: But if it calls for you to kill in defence of your life, so be it,\u201dsaid the PUDEMO Head of International Relations.<\/p>\n

A questionnaire was sent to Superintendent Phindile Vilakati, the Police Spokesperson,however, she had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

King Mswati\u2019s soldiers and the police have intensified the killing of political activists, PUDEMO National Organizer Penuel Malinga and his wife who serve as the PUDEMO Women\u2019s League President survived a hail of bullets fired allegedly, by State agents.<\/p>\n
