Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Cops ban political parties from attending funeral of police recruit, a member of the Swazis First Democratic Front(SFDF).<\/b><\/p>\n

Lindiwe Fakudze, the mother to deceased police recruit Simhle Fakudze says the police ordered her to issue a warning and ban all members of political parties from attending the funeral of her daughter.<\/p>\n

The police recruit died in a car accident at Sidvokodvo this week, she was a member of the newly formed Swazis First Democratic Front(SFDF) who managed to be employed in the police service,despite a vetting process meant to disqualify those calling for democratic reforms.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, the mother to the deceased cop said the police informed her that they won\u2019t be comfortable with the presence of political parties who might attend the funeral.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea that Simhle was a party affiliate, I learned about her from online platform reports.To be honest, I don\u2019t need any political party interfering with the funeral preparations. Otherwise, the police have threatened to withdraw their services if we allow partisan interference,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Police Spokesperson Superintendent Phindile Vilakati had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a group of Hosea activists forced their way-in on Wednesday, to mourn after being refused entry by family members.<\/p>\n
