The President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, took a drastic measure on his Twitter account to announce that they will be closing the Eswatini borders that lead to South Africa.

Malema was very specific on the borders that will be closed, the Goleta port of entry in KwaZulu-Natal and Oshoek border port entry in Mpumalanga borders. He was not specific on whether he will be blocking people from entering South Africa or going to Swaziland.

This comes after the event where the channel YeMaswati broadcasted in an almost empty Somhlolo stadium after Swazis boycott King Mswati’s Good Friday services. It is alleged that Mswati unleashed his security forces to shoot and kill dozens of civilians, who were merely demanding a democratic reform during the 2021 massacre.

EFF Protest At The Oshoek Border at eSwatini https://t.co/bRwkVsapNz

— Economic Freedom Fighters (@EFFSouthAfrica) April 19, 2022

The EFF has been part of the democratic freedom protest that the eSwatini youth have been demanding for the past 36 years being ruled by a king Mswati. The protest was said to be sprouted by the death of a law student who was murdered in May 2021, and it was believed that the police have been part of the crime.

Another reason behind the aggravated riot was when the authorities in Swaziland banned the submission of petitions to the king, which closed a way of getting the king’s attention on the matter and other grievances and complaints.

The protest followed into a wide range from sporadic arson and looting, vandalization of property, and breakdown in the law and order of the country. The Eswatini law enforcement was deployed by Minister Themba Masuku in his defense he stated that this was to regain the rule of the law.

Swaziland now formally known as eSwatini has been under Monarchy since 1973, putting to rest the country’s democratic constitution, banning all political parties. The country’s decisions and rules are placed on the kings. Making them legal guardienne of the country and the only country in Africa that still practices absolute monarchy.

We have shutdown Oshoek border post in solidarity with the people of eSwatini.

Mswati must account for human rights violations. We also want justice for the 150 Swazis killed by Mswati. #EFFeSwatiniProtests pic.twitter.com/jX6KPDr9Do

Sihle Zikalala has been succeeded as the new premier of KwaZulu-Natal by Nomusa Dube-Ncube. Since the start of democracy in 1994, she becomes the province's first female premier. READ ALSO:Divisions in Cosatu ahead of elective conference At a Monday morning press conference, the newly elected provincial leadership officially announced Dube-appointment. Ncube's Prior to the weekend, three people had begun to gain attention as potential competitors for the position made vacant by Zikalala's departure last week, but Dube-Ncube stood out the most. Mbali Fraser and Amanda Bani were further candidates. Dube-Ncube served as South Africa's ambassador to the Czech Republic and has had a fascinating political career inside the ranks of the ANC, which is currently in power. Dube-Ncube was the mayor of the North Central council prior to the merger, which gave rise to the current eThekwini municipality.

Divisions in Cosatu ahead of elective conference

by Farida Joyce
August 8, 2022

Deep divides among a number of Cosatu affiliates, the largest trade union federation in the nation, raise the possibility that a contentious race for leadership positions may break out when the group conducts its elective conference next month. Large affiliates of the federation, particularly those in the public sector, are allegedly beset by factionalism that hinders efforts to bring them together in support of those who will run the organization after September. READ ALSO:One person dies in Kagiso protest The leadership succession is traditionally managed via the federation's central executive committee and public sector union organizations like the joint mandatory committee (JMC) to avoid ugly battles that could destabilize the organization. Zingiswa Losi, the president of Cosatu, may seem to be in a strong position to maintain her job, but it has recently come to light that she is facing opposition. Additionally, it has come to light that Bheki Ntshalintshali, the federation's general secretary, was the target of a significant lobbying effort. If that were to occur, he would become the only Cosatu boss since the federation's founding in 1985 to be dismissed after completing one term. Louis Thipe, the second deputy president of Cosatu, is said to have declared she plans to resign. Louis Thipe, the second deputy president of Cosatu, is said to have declared she plans to resign. Freda Oosthuysen, the national treasurer of the federation, is expected to keep her job after being strongly supported by her affiliate, the influential Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers Union (Sactwu). The SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu), one of Cosatu's largest affiliates, is adamant that the leadership that emerges from the congress should reflect the balance between unions in the public and private sectors. “The leadership should...
