If my memory serves me well, there was an "independent" inquest set up to look into the death of two youths who died under police interogation. They were suspected to have stollen cellphones. A then Principal Magistrate Selby Dlamini was apointed coroner. The last time we heard of the inquest was when it was instituted. Then It was Mathousand, la Fakudze ..... the list goes on. Now we learn there are frantic efforts from the police intelligence to identify "unfortunate" two young men who will fit the identity of of two would-be assasinists who attempted to kill unionist & Pudemo Nec member Vincent Dlamini on the night of January 01 2008.

But did we ever learn the killers of Benedict, Mathousand, Ntokozo, La Fakudze................. The Swazi blood is sprinkled all over makosetive's farm and red is the color. --- On Thu, 5/6/10, Dominic Tweedie <[email protected]> wrote: From: Dominic Tweedie <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SSN Forum] SWAYOCO STATEMENT ON THE Death of Comrade Sipho Jele To: [email protected] Received: Thursday, May 6, 2010, 6:56 AM An enquiry can lead to a criminal prosecution of the perpetrators. An enquiry will be an opportunity for the family and its supporters to put forward their evidence. An enquiry will create many opportunities, including opportunities for mass action. But of course there should be more than just an enquiry. There should be a monument. Let Thobile Maso's poem be but the first among many memorials of the martyr hero comrade Sipho Jele! The fallen must be honoured. VC On 6 May 2010 11:32, kenneth kunene <[email protected]> wrote: No need to mourn comrades. We must shoulder the responsibility, especially PUDEMO leadership. We a always telling the world that peaceful engagements have space and are bearing fruits, so these are the fruits? Killing someone for wearing a t-shirt, and continue to claim its part of constructive engagement. We will continue to make unrealistic slogans that 'may his soul rest in peace' what peace when a young poor man died in agony? Its a pity that SWAWOCO who a dialy victims laments for an inquiry, what more evidence can convince us that the comrade was killed by the regime? Comrades lets think sound, any evidence we seek wil not stop the murderers, only punitive action. If we dont admit that we a responsible, we will loose character and favour and blame the world as if we expect people of the world have an obligation to free us than support. Lets leave the chorus of lament to other forces and sing the right song with a good tune. He is no more and more will follow.
