She told the attendees who comprised of members of different political formations, pastors and others, that she actually did not want to attend the memorial. She stated that some of the \u2018comrades\u2019 insulted her husband. \u201cDeep down in my heart, I feel like some \u2018comrades\u2019 here are happy that Thulani is no more,\u201d she said. Tanele said the night before the service, she debated with herself on whether to attend it or not. She said the debate was on whether she really wanted to be part of the celebration and if she really wanted to face the people who wanted nothing to do with Thulani.<\/p>\n<p>She said in the morning, a voice which felt like that of her husband\u2019s came to her whispering, telling her to go. She said the voice said to her;\u201chamba sweety vele batongetfuka.\u201d She said upon hearing that voice, she thanked God because Thulani was not only her husband but was also her leader. Tanele said Thulani was an honest man. She noted that together with her late husband, they would debate issues, disagree on others but he never insulted her or anyone for that matter. She stated that some organisations did not recognise her husband\u2019s work and some were formed to shoot down the Multi-Stakeholder Forum (MSF). \u201cSome of the organisations here did not want anything to do with Thulani, but he mastered all,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hurt<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tanele said what hurt her the most was that the status quo understood Thulani more than them. She said the country\u2019s authorities knew Thulani more than them in the mass democratic movement (MDM). She said nonetheless, people in the MDM were busy fighting, bickering and stepping over Thulani, as he was trying to forge a way forward for emaSwati. Tanele said what gave her peace was that despite the insults hurled towards him; Thulani loved and appreciated the work of those in the MDM.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
