Velaphi Mamba: Tribute to Thulani Maseko - Servant of Humanity

Blossom of Thought

This is a tributary episode on the world-renowned activist and human rights attorney, Thulani R Maseko (TR) from Swaziland, who was allegedly slain by King Mswati III's regime (Swaziland). For this homage, my guest is Velaphi Mamba a long-time friend and comrade of TR. Velaphi Mamba is a vibrant activist and treasurer general of the People's United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO), and recent master's degree graduate from Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government.

Velaphi and I talk about:

*Historiography and ethnology of the Maseko clan and their major contributions to Swaziland's polity.

*The Swazi state's stratagem of complete decimation of other clans' chiefs, and kingdoms - an erasure of the history of the clans causing a loss of self-determination and independence.

*TR's litany of human rights cases and his contribution to the jurisprudence in Swaziland and his service to humanity internationally.
