SWAZI MAN DIES IN LONDON

MANZINI –  Barely two years after the death of Operational Support Services Unit (OSSU) officer and biker Mandla Clint Hlatjwayo, his younger brother succumbed to an illness while in London, in the United Kingdom.

Nhlanhla Hlatjwayo (38) died while at a Hospice Home three weeks ago when his family was still making arrangements to visit him.
According to his elder brother, Senzo, Nhlanhla died of a terminal illness linked to cancer after he had been in and out of different hospitals.

Nhlanhla, who was employed by an organic agriculture farming company in the United Kingdom, last visited Swaziland towards the end of 2015, when his sibling, Clint was laid to rest.

Wearing a camouflage biker jacket, he landed in the country on the day of his brother’s memorial service together with his nephews and nieces, who are also based in London.

“The family is at a loss for words, we have lost yet another member. Nkulunkulu utsetse sisi, yena uyati,” Senzo said yesterday - loosely translated, ‘God has taken yet another member of our family and He knows better’.
He said Nhlanhla’s condition became serious at the beginning of this year when he was admitted to hospital.

Senzo quashed rumours that while in his sick bed, Nhlanhla donated some parts of his body to the state.
“That is not true, as a family we heard those rumours and enquired about them.

“However, we were informed that they were not true. There is a legal process that a person goes through when going about all that and there was no evidence that he went through such talks or decisions. Shortly before he met his death, the family through one of our sisters, was preparing visas to travel to London to monitor his condition. Unfortunately, we were informed that he had passed on and we had to abandon everything and face the present challenges,” Senzo added.
