Mayiwane Member of Parliament (MP) Sicelo Khungankhosi Dlamini has claimed that he is under secret surveillance by a large committee with questionable intentions.
In a recent post on his Facebook account ‘Khunga Nkhosi Daily,’ Dlamini stated that a five-team group is actively monitoring his every move. He expressed concerns over the committee’s motives, noting that it was set up while he was waiting for the establishment of a committee to investigate another matter.
“Imagine this, you arrive in Parliament and ask for the establishment of a committee that will investigate a certain matter. While waiting for this, another big committee is set up to investigate you and even divide roles among themselves,” read the post.
According to Dlamini, the first team is stationed at the Royal Science and Technology Park (RSTP), monitoring all his communications. The second team follows him by car, tracking his movements, though he humorously vowed to outrun them by travelling at high speeds. The third team allegedly keeps an eye on his visits to his dagga fields, although he claimed to have left that lifestyle behind long ago. The fourth team, he suggested, plans to plant illegal items in his home or car to frame him for criminal activities. Lastly, the fifth team focuses on his business dealings, with the intention of sabotaging his company’s contracts.

Despite these claims, Dlamini downplayed the situation when contacted yesterday, stating that he was simply posting for fun. However, he affirmed that he was ready to discuss these issues within Parliament, where he is protected by parliamentary privilege.
“Corruption fights back, and each time one exposes it, there will be a fight,” he commented, hinting at the resistance he has faced when bringing sensitive matters to light.
In Parliament, Dlamini previously raised alarm about the alleged involvement of police officers in drug dealing operations in the northern part of Hhohho. He claimed that these dealers had significant influence over police activities in the area. His bold statement led to the adoption of a recommendation that the national commissioner (NatCom) of police should not be involved in investigations into corruption and drug links within certain police stations.
Dlamini argued that NatCom’s involvement would allow implicated officers to investigate the matter, which could hinder the effectiveness of the probe. Drawing from his own experience as a former police officer, Dlamini emphasised that officers would be reluctant to speak out if they feared retribution.
