MBABANE – A liSwati was found dead and floating in Driekoppies Dam, while
carrying a black bag which allegedly had dagga on his back.
The South African police are looking for relatives of Zakhele Masinga Ndwandwe
(40), who is believed to be from Mbekelweni.
His body was discovered last week Monday, by a community member who was passing
by the dam, which is between the borderline of RSA and Eswatini.
The man’s fingerprints were run on the SA database and he could not be
identified until a woman came forward with the information that he was from the
Kingdom of Eswatini.
Woman
Ndwandwe was identified by the woman who alleged to be his lover, who resides in
South Africa.
The same woman informed the police that Ndwandwe had mentioned that he was from
Mbekelweni when they were together.
She also informed them that he allegedly made a living by selling dagga and
would spend most of his time in South Africa.
Information gathered from the South African Police Service (SAPS) in
Schoemansdal was that the dagga was not more than a handful.
It is suspected that the rest of the dagga might have been taken from Ndwandwe,
before he died.
When his body was searched there was no form of identification found on him. He
was wearing a black T-shirt, black formal pants and black formal shoes. Since
his body was in the water for some time, it had started to decompose and his
tongue was visibly swollen.  It could not be established how long the body had
been in the dam, as the woman informed the police that she had thought he was
still in Eswatini.
