The ANC is present here as you are aware that the President of the ANC and South Africa will be hosting the Troika on the 21st. We highlighted that they shouldn\u2019t allow Mswati to continue to dribble and delay the issue of an all inclusive genuine dialogue with all the partners. But that dialogue can only take place obviously, after the unconditional release of the Members of Parliament and all other arrested political prisoners. The unconditional return of all exiles, the normalization of the situation which includes the return of the soldiers to the barracks, the freedom of political activists including political parties,those that are proscribed and those that are not proscribed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Government Spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo had not responded at the time of compiling this report.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, the PUDEMO President said they would again highlight the issue of eSwatini in the presence of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the SADC Troika Chairperson who would address the SACP Congress on Friday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
