MBEKELWENI – It was a double blow for Sandile Mdziniso’s family this past week, as not only did they lose the former Commissioner of Police but another member of the family died.

The family lost Princess Cwasho Simelane, who was married to Vusi Mdziniso. This was revealed by Solomon Shongwe, who was speaking on behalf of the area’s chief.
Shongwe was brief in making this announcement, thanking all those who came for the former police commissioner’s funeral.

He urged the mourners to assist the family with the burial of the other relative today.
The Times SUNDAY gathered that Simelane succumbed to death on Monday.
There was a memorial service yesterday afternoon at Mbekelweni Lutheran Church.
She was to be laid to rest this morning, also at Mbekelweni.

Meanwhile, the late member of the King’s Advisory Council was lauded as being influential in forming the Southern African Police Chiefs Cooperation Organisation.
This was revealed by James Magagula, Assistant Commissioner of Police during the funeral of Mdziniso at his homestead in Mbekelweni yesterday morning. James represented Isaac Magagula, the Commissioner of Police.
Mdziniso passed away last Friday while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Pretoria, South Africa where he had spent two months.

James explained that the organisation Mdzinizo pioneered strengthens cooperation between police chiefs in the SADC region when it comes to matters relating to crime.
He said through this organisation, police within the region were able to get stolen property from one country to another without a problem.

“Mdziniso introduced a lot of changes in the police force.
The police college today has a Command Studies Wing, which specialises in teaching command studies because of him,” said the assistant commissioner.
He said the command wing at the police college now also assisted police officers from other countries in the SADC Region as far as command studies are concerned.

He hailed the former police chief for ensuring that the welfare of police in the country was well taken care of.
He added that Mdziniso also introduced the divisions of zones in the cities, which encouraged community policing.
He said during his time as a police officer, Mdziniso served with diligence until he retired at the age of 60.
“As we saw him serve in higher structures in the country, credit went to the police force,” stated Magagula who was full of praises for the former police chief.

He said even after retiring from the police force, Mdziniso always contributed towards the improvement of the force. He said from time to time when they encountered problems, they would always go to him for advice and he would freely and willingly assist them.
The assistant commissioner explained that Mdziniso passing away was not only a loss for the family but for the whole country. He said he wished his children would learn a lot from him as he was a man of integrity.

  • image When the SACP leader Mr Moses Mabhida was in his death bed in Maputo, he called Cde JZ and told him about his fears about the misuse of Intelligence in the wrong hands amongst the ANC recruits. Mr Mabhida new there was a plot to assassinate the Mozambican President Samora Macheal after being informed by the Israil's M Office. At the time I was obssessed with my investigation of the killing of Mr Thabo Mbeki's elder brother, which I had a strong feeling was linked in the kidnapping and disappearance of Mr T. Mbeki's out of the wedlock 17 year old son. The investigation led me to info. about the bad blood between T. Mbeki and his elder brother due to suspision, he might have participated in the killing of his son. The Swazi Police at the time were doing some investigation to the disapperance and might have concluded the same. As a result I was stopped from further investigations, by the ANC's Zambia Headquarters. This was due to the fact that I had to assist Cde Y from Port Elizabert in a fresh investigation of the air crash to death of the Mozambican President, Samora Micheal. In two months after the deadly crash, I found out how the Pilot misread signs as a results of an SADF's disrrupting IT system which was place at Pigg Speak Hotel's roofs. The notical Miles and weather info. were deliberately made incorrect through the manipulations of the system. The question is how and why the Swazi Police leadership failed to pick up this Intelligence? Seven years later I had to assist Mr Moe Shaik in the ANC Intelligence Office as per the SACP enquiry to Chris Hani's killing in 1993, after Cde Blade Nzimande suspected info. pedling by the Luthuli House. It was at this point that I also felt that I was under surveillance as my phone were bucked and some cars with unfamiliar white faces were following me to my every destination. The ANC's Durban Conferance was at the centre of of these bad blood in the Party. It is here that Cde JZ chosed to side with Cde TM. At this point in time a had built good relationship with COSATU's leadership and was also trusted by the SACP. After the death of OR Tambo, Cde ZJ invited me to his Department in PTM, to work with security until his appoint into the Presidency. Both the Stellenbosch and Mafikeng Conferances tainted the ANC's image as tribalism rear its urgly face in the Party's National Executive Committee. It was after these two conferances that the KwaZulu Natal ANC began to use every Intelligence we gathered in preparation for an imaginery political power struggle in the ANC. From 1997, we new as KZN ANC that we will eventually fight with the Eastern Cape over influence in the Party. Cde JZ was increasingly push to associate strongly with the Zulu King if only to build power base in preparation for the Bloemfontein Conferance. This was ment as a treat to JZ's challengers. When Cde Moe gathered info. that Cde JZ will be kicked out of Office as Deputy President, we knew what our next mission as MK's KZN Intelligence team. It was to buck all in/out phone calls of every senior ANC officer both in Durban and PTM. This means we literally seize control of KZN's political base and gave it a new direction, that of supporting JZ as the SA President after the Eastern Cape Boys. Why did we do that? This is because a number of powerful and influencial cdes from KZN have died out of food poisoning in exile. As a result we only had one brave leader, in the form of JZ to take over and we weren't prepared to hear any sort of grumbling. In other words JZ was Mr Moses Mabhida's heir in the ANC after the Cape Colony Boys. The wish by Cde Blade Nzimande to sent to jail Cde Thobo Mbeki for his direct responsibility in the Millions HIV/AIDS death in the country is nothing but revenge and a strategy to destroy any challenger from the Cape Colony for the Presidency. In other words Cde Blade wants to annoint a successor to President JZ. It is feared that Cde JZ's successor might help to introduce democratic elections in Swaziland. The growing power of the KZN's MK's Veterans is a strategy towards that goal. In the next MK'WV's national elections, the chairman will come from KZN. The strategy to return Pes. JZ to Office is not by mistake, but a build up to SA's future Presidency!! The Intelligence here is of light weight and can't lead to any criminal indictment.

  • image HAMBA KAHLE COMM. S MDZINISO!! Rember Cde B3 after the Sasol bombing? He tried to jump the border on his way to Berea in Mozambique in 1983, but was unfortunately caught and handed over to Captain De Kok and taken to Vlaakplaas near Randfontein by the Swazi Police as per order from the Head Office in Mbabane. After the bombing of the East wing of Sasol, B1; B2; B3 parted ways with B4; B5 and B6 in the early hours of the morning. The understanding was that the first three Bs will head for Mozambique, Berea whilst the last Bs will head for Francis Town in north Botswana on their way to Zambia. It was never to be as KV Unit of Mr De Kok sought them in a heavy manned Road Block, caught all of them except B3. All five were taken to this private owned farm with three shacks and one house, the torture then began. For three days without food but only hot water, the torture continued unabaited. Those whose bodies couldn't take it anymore, where put into the icey room with a flicker light. When numbness overcame them, the shacks served as their sleeping place. Colonel Derick C. came and order that the MKs be taken to the SASOL's blastfarnace to taste their own bombing medicine at 02:00AM. All Bs knew that death has finally come and was a matter of hours. Unbeknown to the MKs, De Kok and his boys will leave for town to buy stock for their daily braaie. At 09:30pm, B2 was suddenly experience some strange power and went to the door. He pushed it hard three times and it fell down broken. He wheestled and it and they were out without B5. B2 went in took the unconscious B5 and they turned their backs towards Botswana. On the small tar road they hijacked an old Nissan van and kicked it until Letlhabile near Rustenburg. Hide there until they got a small Toyota Corolla from local Dr. The Mks Kicked the car until Lehurutse and dispossed it as they cross to Botswana and headed for Francis Town. Cde B3 from Nelspruit, a former Mozambiquen citizen who joined the struggle by a mistake lived and is now based in Nelspruit, with a movie under his belt. I am Cde B2 who guided the other MKs from our day of the miraculous escape until Zambai before crossing to Angola. Cde B4 died of a car accident in May 2007 whilst Cde B1 died in Pretoria Academic Hospital now Bantu Biko Hospital, this year in July. These were brave cdes who chosed to go beyond, not the present day BEE cdes who are bickering about how much money they will get from Tender so and so. The scars of our torture are still there as testimony to our terrible experiences. We don't hate our african brothers from the Swazi Police force, who disrrupted our missions.
