BETTER GELANE: I WAS NEVER KIDNAPPED

MBABANE – Senate President Gelane Zwane has cleared the air regarding recent news that she had been ‘kidnapped’

Zwane explained that she was not kidnapped but the person who notified the police about this did not have information about her travel to South Africa for a medical check-up.

Zwane, in an interview yesterday, said she was feeling better and was back in the country after being taken to South Africa for medical scrutiny.
The acting Chief of KoNtshingila noted that her husband was not aware with whom she had travelled last week to hospital.
“They did not know who I was with when going to South Africa; otherwise I am fine and back in the country,” she said.

Fears of Zwane’s disapearance ripped her family last week Tuesday such that her husband, Mike Zwane, reported to the police that his wife had been kidnapped. This assertion resulted in the police investigating the allegation.

With a chuckle, Zwane informed this publication that she was suffering from old age. In vernacular she said: “Kugula kwekuguga nje mntfwanami kepha sengiluleme.”

It is well documented that Zwane has not been her usual self since 2015. Last year, she missed a better part of Senate sittings and resurfaced towards the end of the year. During this lengthy break, Senate Deputy President Ngomuyayona Gamedze was at the helm of Senate proceedings.
Meanwhile, last week Thursday, the acting prime minister, Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Paul Dlamini, said Cabinet was aware that Zwane had been rushed to South Africa for a medical examination.

The DPM said the Minister of Health, Sibongile Simelane, reported to Cabinet about Zwane’s state of health.
However, he noted that an ailment of a person was confidential; hence minimal details could be shared other than to acknowledge that the Senate President had been sent to the neighbouring republic for examination.
