#NOTINMYNAME INTERNATIONAL calls on the South African government to immediately intervene by condemning the barbaric actions of the Eswatini regime against its own people.
Themba Masango (Secretary-General) for the movement said the embassy of Eswatini must be closed with immediate effect.
Masango said, “The struggle is no longer theirs alone. The Monarch must stop eating his own,”
“Transparency and good governance are highlighted by the public and/or civil society’s fundamental right to comment on laws and regulations; on the disposition of state funds and revenue, as well as the decisions taken by those who are in power,” he said.
Masango said the regime in Eswatini has reactivated its authoritarian systems to crush dissenting voices: reports state that pro democracy leaders and citizens are being arrested for demanding the Monarch to accept democracy as the order of the day, the community lives in constant and persistent fear of prosecution with many arrests and abductions being made public.
The Eswatini government shutdown the internet on Thursday and Friday.
“It is evident that the Eswatini regime is hellbent on subverting civil liberties and constitution through thwarting and prosecuting dissenting voices,” he added.
