Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo accuses Swaziland News editor Zweli Martin Dlamini of bribing journalists to spy on Eswatini Government.<\/b><\/p>\n

When interviewed by the State owned radio, the Government Spokesperson was asked what Government intended to do after declaring Dlamini a terrorist, he said he could not reveal such information as the matter involved State security.<\/p>\n

We are also aware that uMlangeni(editor) bribes journalists to pretend as if they are interviewing us yet they are collecting information on his behalf so he could evade accountability through the justice system,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

The Government Spokesperson further expressed disappointment on South Africa adding that there were international Conventions signed that sought to ensure that a citizen cannot run away from his\/her home country with the intention of supporting a war.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there\u2019s nothing we can do, because South Africa is South Africa,\u201d said the Government Spokesperson.<\/p>\n

As usual, the Swaziland News editor was not contacted by the State owned radio station for his side of the story.<\/p>\n
