Mourners during the burial of the late student
DLUDLUMA- The funeral of a Mehlobovu High School learner, Mandla Fingwane, was held over the last weekend at Dludluma. He was buried at the local cemetery. Municipal councilors, teachers, the Executive mayor of Nkomazi, Cllr Johan Mavuso, and some political moguls from the Nkomazi municipality attended the funeral. The deceased was allegedly shot while coming from studying on Saturday a fortnight ago by a member of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) who was later arrested. He appeared in court facing a murder charge. During the time of going to press the suspect was expected to make his second appearance at the Tonga Magistrate’s court.

Elvis Mahlangu before he disappeared
SCHOEMANSDAL- A family in Schoemansdal is spending sleepless nights searching for one of their members after he had disappeared. Though the man went missing ten years ago the family has launched a renewed bid to find him despite every sign showing how impossible it would be for them to find him. Jabulani Elvis Mahlangu, 41, of Schoemansdal left for Nelspruit where he had apparently secured a job. Since then he never came home and his family is worried. Mahlangu is dark in complexion and has a small frame. He speaks Siswati fluently. “Both our parents have since passed away during his absence,” said the man’s sister, Phindile Mkhaba. Mkhaba came to Nkomazi Voice’s offices in a desperate attempt to link up with his brother whose children have since grown up without him.

Anyone who might know the man’s whereabouts is requested to call Phindile at 072 492 1318.

MAGOGENI- A man appeared at the Tonga Magistrate’s Court for sodomizing a 12-year-old boy on Friday. Police said the young boy was walking alone at Magogeni when he was approached by the alleged rapist. The drama allegedly took place on Tuesday last week where the man is said to have pulled the victim into the bushes. He then ordered the boy to undress and bend forward for him to penetrate his victim from behind.

Schoemansdal Police spokeswoman, Constable Nompilo Qwabe, said the boy initially refused but then relented after he was threatened with death. The case has since been remanded to later this month. The young boy is currently reported to be receiving trauma counseling and treatment at Shongwe Hospital.

MANANGA- Mbuzini Police have hosted a border security campaign which is aimed at reducing crime in areas next to the illegal exit and entry points. This is an annual campaign conducted by police and the department of home affairs in a drive to teach people about the dangers of using these points instead of legal border gates.

More than two hundred residents rallied behind the campaign on Sunday at Mananga community hall. Issues related to car smuggling and other petty crimes have been discussed by the residents with some high-ranking police officials. The police promised to address each and every concern raised during the campaign. Police warned the villagers concerning the rising number of sugar cane theft from Swaziland to Mananga.

“We met with Swaziland police. They blew a whistle stating that they will now use live ammunition to shoot people who steal sugar cane from their country,” said Mbuzini police, Inspector Frankie Sibiya.

Residents complained about taverns which operate until late in the night. They alleged that this has contributed to the spate of robberies which have plagued the village in recent times. Regional Manager at Ehlanzeni Safety and Security, Agrippa Mabuza, encouraged people to use legal borders in order to generate more income for the state.

“There are certain levies which are paid when one crosses the border and that contributes to revenue collection,” concluded detective head of Mbuzini Police, Inspector Solomon
