Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Nqaba Dlamini, the grandson of former Prime Minister Prince Sotja says as a family, they are struggling following the death of the Prince.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking to press, Dlamini said no one was employed within his family adding that even though his grandfather left a huge piece of land, they didnt have resources to work on it.<\/p>\n

As a result, Dlamini said the umphakatsi at Lushikishini was threatening to grab the land.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are struggling with nothing to eat, we thought maybe due to the previous status of my grandfather who was a Prime Minister, bakaNgwane would assist us with jobs, however, that is not happening. Instead, the uMphakatsi wants to grab our land that was left by my grandfather,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments,Lushikishini Indvuna Bhekithemba Dlamini denied that they attempted to grab the land belonging to the Prince.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not aware that as uMphakatsi we want to grab Sotja\u2019s land. Who is grabbing Sotja\u2019s land? Is it the Chief? Who exactly is grabbing the land? There\u2019s is nothing like that, maybe it\u2019s the neighbours who want to grab the land, but they can come to us as umphakatsi so we can resolve it,\u201d said the Lushikishini Indvuna.<\/p>\n
