Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>A team of white hitmen is in the country,working with Mswati\u2019s police and the army to assassinate pro-democracy activists and members of the Solidarity Forces.<\/b><\/p>\n

Two of the heavily armed hitmen who are normally seen in roadblocks were followed and pictured by our undercover investigators on Sunday at the President Centre’s Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC).<\/p>\n

During roadblocks,these hitmen are normally seen in balaclavas, however, when they entered the KFC to buy food, they had removed their balaclavas and more pictures were taken.<\/p>\n

It has been disclosed that these alleged hitmen were working with another team within the security forces, they were given a list of political leaders to target including Solidarity Forces.<\/p>\n

After killing Mlandvo Khumalo, a member of the Solidarity Forces on Saturday, the alleged hitmen allegedly opened his cellphone and started communicating with other members of the underground unit with an alleged intention of hunting them.<\/p>\n

When driving around the country, these hitmen uphold the highest level of security standards, on Sunday when two of them went to buy food,one of the armed hitmen,firstly surveilled the KFC to ascertain who was inside.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, the other hitmen entered the KFC while the other one who was conducting the surveillance waited outside.<\/p>\n

A questionnaire was sent to King Spokesperson Percy Simelane, however, he had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

But intelligence sources told this publication that the hitmen are now commanding operations even on strategic roadblocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were given the mandate to shoot and kill, iNkhosi ifuna kushaye umoya eveni layo kubete umsindvo,\u201d said the intelligence insider.<\/p>\n

The names of hitmen and their country of origin cannot be revealed for now pending a high level investigation by press.<\/p>\n
