Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Colani Maseko, the President of the Swaziland National Union of Students(SNUS) who was tortured by King Mswati\u2019s soldiers has recovered, he urges the youth to intensify the moves to overthrow the absolute Monarch.<\/b><\/p>\n

On Friday during an interview, the Students President said he had recovered and ready to lead the students movement again, he maintained that the message hasn\u2019t changed, \u201cMswati must fall\u201d.<\/p>\n

The influential youth leader said despite the torture, he understood that there were heros who paid a heavy price for the struggle more than him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe message for Mswati hasn\u2019t changed, he must be removed because he has failed the people. Despite the torture, I will continue leading the students movement and fight for social justice and freedom for all.I understand that there are heroes who paid a heavy price for this struggle and this include the late Amos Mbhedzi and the incarcerated pro-democracy Members of Parliament(MPs) who are languishing in jail for almost a year now. I cannot be silenced by threats of revoking my bail if I continue calling for democratic reforms,\u201d said the Students President.<\/p>\n

Percy Simelane, the Director of Communications in the King\u2019s Office had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n

Recently, Colani Maseko, the President of the Swaziland National Union of Students(SNUS) who is critical of King Mswati was abducted by Mswati\u2019s soldiers and subsequently tortured at a river next to Engabezweni Palace.<\/p>\n
