MBABANE:Sicelo Matsebula of Mkhulamini has accused Assitant Commissioner Clement Sihlongonyane of abusing and forcing him to continue with a marriage with his daughter who is a police officer despite the fact that, the marriage has been on the rocks for the past months.

Speaking to this Swaziland News this week, Matsebula said he has been subjected to abuse by his wife Zandile Sihlongonyane adding that, he would sometimes, be forced to sleep outside the house in the car after being locked-out by his wife.

“I told her that I’ve had enough of the abuse but Sihlongonyane is thretening to kill me if I am terminating the marriage with his daughter, utsi angimkhwele ngenkhani,” he said.

Efforts to seek a comment from both Zandile Sihlongonyane and Assitant Commissioner Clement Sihlongonyane proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.

On another note, Matsebula told this publication that, he approached uMphakatsi in an effort to terminate the marriage but, Clement Sihlongonyane vigorously opposed the termination.
