NTONTOZI – The community of Gebeni is very angry. Paul Kunene, the Indvuna of Gebeni noted this yesterday. Kunene said the people of Gebeni were not happy about the manner in which the Regional Administrator (RA) of Manzini and also EBC were handling their concerns.
He accused them of ‘delaying tactics’ adding that they were ignoring the seriousness of the ongoing disputes in the community of Gebeni and Ndlinilembi. He said it appeared EBC would not be conducting the civic and voter education exercise in the area, but said this was one way of showing that they did not consider the area as having its own chief.
