Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>King Mswati\u2019s alleged mercenary Arno Pienaar when speaking to the Times of London said Thulani Rudolf Maseko was killed amid what he described as infighting within the Mass Democratic Movement(MDM).<\/b><\/p>\n

Well,if Mswati is clean as his allies including the State controlled media want us to believe, as a country, let us allow the United Nations(UN), African Union(AU), Amnesty International and other reputable international organizations to establish a Commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Thulani Maseko.<\/p>\n

King Mswati and his Government cannot be trusted with this investigation, we want the truth and only the truth.<\/p>\n

The State controlled media must relax with its theories, we will not allow this matter to fade away from the public domain until we know who killed human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko.<\/p>\n

An investigation must be credible and be grounded within the principles of investigation hence Mswati, by virtue of being a suspect is now conflicted.<\/p>\n

Therefore,we urge the UN and other international organizations to establish a Commission or hire independent investigators to investigate the assassination of the human rights lawyer.<\/p>\n

As for Mswati\u2019s alleged mercenary Arno Pienaar, he must know that as the media, if need be, we can even take him to court and demand to know the contents of the \u2018security\u2019 agreement he signed with the King.<\/p>\n

Pienaar told the Times of London that Maseko was not in their list, he must be forced to disclose that list of targeted individuals.<\/p>\n

We have lost a highly regarded human rights lawyer here, if Mswati\u2019s mercenary Arno Pienaar is aware who killed Thulani Maseko, he must assist us, we want the killer behind bars.<\/p>\n

Otherwise for now, we feel Mswati\u2019s alleged hit-man Pienaar is hiding behind the leaf but,that leaf is slowly becoming transparent.<\/p>\n
