The Swaziland Solidarity
Network revealed today that at least 38 girls and more than twenty one others
died on their way to Umhlanga Reed dance.
The accident happened along
the Mbabane, Manzini highway. It’s alleged that the media and police are not
able to report this story.
SSN spokesperson Lucky Lukhele
said “As a result of the open truck some of these girls were flunk out and
those who were injured, some of them have lost their limbs. Their lives have changed
dramatically forever.”
Lukhele also condemn the
Swaziland government for trying to cover up the incident. It’s alleged that the government has forced journalist
not to report on the story because the king wants the reed dance to take place.
