RSA TO DEPOT CPS LEADERS - The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) leaders are to be deported. The South African government declined to renew political asylums of the leaders of CPS citing reason that Swaziland is politically stable, hence theres no reason for them to flee their country. Kenneth Kunene the General Secretary, Felix Mabaso International Organiser and Jeff Mnguni National Chairperson are at the Home Affires head office awaiting for transport to deport them back to Swaziland. The three came to RSA in 2005 for exile after being wanted by The King Mswati security forces for engaging in political activism to overthrow the fuadal regime.
