COUNTRY’S SECURITY SERVICES HAVE BEEN IMPLORED TO UNITE

By Kwanele Sibiya | 2022-10-29

The three security services of the country must unite and carry each other’s burden instead of mocking one another’s plight.

His Majesty’s Correctional Services (HMCS) Hhohho Regional Commissioner Nomahhohho Sibandze said it was time the country’s security services united and supported one another.
Sibandze said if there was a time where the country’s security services needed each other, it was now.

She was speaking during the memorial service of the slain correctional services officer Mike Menzi Mthethwa held at Ka-Bhudla Assembly of God Church yesterday.
Mthethwa is the warder who was abducted from his workstation at the Sidvwashini Correctional facility last Thursday.

He was discovered in a forest at Ngwenya with gunshot wounds in the head and chest.
Mthethwa was allegedly disarmed of his service rifle (R4), kidnapped and shot.
A correctional officer was reportedly involved in Mthethwa’s abduction and brutal killing.

Sibandze said they were aware that a majority of people had unanswered questions pertaining to Mthethwa’s death, unfortunately HMCS did not have the answers.

She said all they knew was that he passed on after being kidnapped by one of their own.
Sibandze further appreciated the Royal Eswatini Police Service (REPS) and the Umbutfo Eswatini Defence Force (UEDF) for offering moral support to the Mthethwa family.

Sibandze said death was eminent for everyone and therefore it was important to prepare for same by accepting Jesus as their Lord and personal saviour.
Meanwhile, members of the REPS and UEDF showed up in their numbers to offer moral support and solidarity to the family.
