WAS EX-PM MANDVULO CLEARED OF COVID-19?

MBABANE – Yesterday morning at the State Funeral Service of Christian Myekeni Ntshangase, the late Minister of Public Service, pallbearers were fully clad in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) because he died of COVID-19.

Notably, they wore more PPE than the pallbearers who were at the State Funeral Service of the late former Prime Minister Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini, who is also believed to have died from COVID-19. Those pallbearers who were at the late former PM’s funeral service only wore face masks and gloves; but those at Ntshangase’s funeral supplemented the face masks and gloves with gowns, aprons and face shields. The pallbearers, on both State funerals, were from the Royal Eswatini Police Service. Mandvulo and Ntshangase are two sitting members of the current Cabinet to die after having contracted COVID-19.

Impeccable sources have informed the Times SUNDAY that the reason for the pallbearers not to be fully clad during the late former PM’s State Funeral was because before he died he had allegedly been cleared of covid-19.  “Mandvulo was cleared of COVID-19 weeks before he died. He definitely did not die of corona. That’s why at no point  were those  carrying his casket clad  in PPE. Your saw for yourself at the funeral,” said one of the impeccable sources. The late PM announced publicly on November 15, 2020 that he had tested positive for COVID-19  and said he was ‘asymptomatic  and feeling well, but in isolation in line with health protocols, and being supported by the Ministry of Health medical personnel at home.

He said he would work from home until he was cleared of the virus. The World Health Organisation estimates an average of two weeks in recovery time, based on a February 2020 analysis of data from a joint mission with China — although certain symptoms, like coughing, may linger. Two weeks after the late PM had announced his positive test, he was in hospital receiving treatment after being admitted to the Mbabane Government Hospital when he reportedly developed mild symptoms. He was transferred to the Lubombo referral Hospital a couple of days later. On December 1, which was 16 days after the announcement of his COVID-19 test results, he was airlifted to a South African hospital where he died on December 13, 2020.
