Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Fana Ginindza, a Correctional Services officer under the Royal Close Protection Unit(RCPU)has been accused of assisting Mswati\u2019s alleged mercenaries to identify and kill political activists at Siphocosini in the outskirts of the capital city-Mbabane.<\/b><\/p>\n

The alleged mercenaries are patrolling the country these days, searching for political activists and\/or human rights defenders, others including human rights lawyer Thulani Maseko were allegedly killed by the mercenaries.<\/p>\n

Political activists particularly members of the People\u2019s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO)at Siphocosini told that they have witnessed Ginindza patrolling the area with the mercenaries believed to be residing at Mhlambanyatsi.<\/p>\n

It has been disclosed that the mercenaries don\u2019t know some of the political activists and they normally work with Swazis in that particular area to identify their targets.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments, Ginindza denied the accusations, he said he doesn\u2019t even know that there were mercenaries in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t work with them, in fact I don\u2019t even know that there are mercenaries in the country,\u201d said the Correctional Services officer.<\/p>\n
