Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Siboniso Mkhabela,the International Relations Officer of the People\u2019s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO)has been released on R1000.00 bail.<\/b><\/p>\n

Shortly after his release, the PUDEMO member said Simunye Desk Officer, Nhlanhla Nkomonye who arrested him ensured his safety after being exposed by this Swaziland News.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter you released that voice note where they were arresting me, the Desk Officer said he was no longer feeling safe and will ensure that I am safe inside the cell. I can confirm that I was not tortured. What happened is that Lukhozi investigators came to ask about editor Zweli Martin Dlamini and President Mlungisi Makhanya\u2019s whereabouts,\u201dsaid the PUDEMO member.<\/p>\n

Mkhabela was arrested on Wednesday by Lomahasha and Simunye police who are alleged members of the Lubombo task team investigating the attacks on security officers by the underground forces.<\/p>\n

On another note, editor Zweli Martin Dlamini assured all police officers who uphold the law fairly that they won\u2019t be unfairly painted \u2018black\u2019 by the independent media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have a problem with officers who enforce the law fairly, but we will always expose injustice. If Siboniso Mkhabela says he was not tortured, we will publish that. We thank the officers who ensured that Mkhabela was safe,\u201d said the editor.<\/p>\n
