EFF insists on eSwatini to be free

The EFF appeals to governments worldwide to impose sanctions against the Kingdom of eSwatini.

This was a call made by the EFF’s provincial leader, Collen Sedibe, during the party’s peaceful march at the Matsamo Border Gate on Tuesday April 19.

The party marched to all the Mpumalanga-based border posts leading to eSwatini in solidarity with the people of this tiny country, calling for freedom and democracy.

“It is time that the world stands up against this tyranny that rules the Kingdom. The EFF has heard the loud calls of the people of eSwatini. We have seen the blood of our brothers and sisters flowing in the rivers and lakes. They are being killed like flies in eSwatini and the SADC nations are silent. The EFF can no longer fold our arms while our brothers and sisters continue to live under the iron fist and dictatorship that rule eSwatini,” said Sedibe.

He said the EFF wants King Mswati to release all political prisoners currently imprisoned in the country.

“We call on the king to do away with the tinkundla laws that rules the country. “Just like the people of eSwatini, the EFF longs to see a democratic state being established in the Kingdom. It is because of these reasons why we are here today to stand in solidarity with the people of eSwatini. We want them to know that we, the EFF, are here with to them and for them,” continued Sedibe. This party said it will not rest until the Kingdom of eSwatini is finally free from oppression.

“There is no democracy. The time has come to assist the people of eSwatini to finally obtain their freedom and democracy in more practical ways. The plan is to have a presence at all border gates, every chance we get, until the war is won. We will not stop making a noise until our brothers and sisters are free,” concluded Sedibe.
