The High Commissioner of Swaziland, Mr Muntu Mswane, took time out of his busy schedule yesterday to meet me and discuss the situation regarding Muzi’s dire need of a transplant. Together we visited the Johannesburg General Hospital, where he met Muzi while he was receiving his dialysis treatments, after which we had brief discussions with Muzi’s doctors and the CEO of the hospital, Mr Sagie Pillay.

We then drove to Marang House, where he could see where Muzi has been living for the past one and a half years or so. I shared all my documentation with him, proving the various allegations that I have made against the Minister of Health and his team.

At my request, the High Commissioner has agreed to mediate between the various stakeholders to resolve the matter. He will soon be having discussions with the Minister of Health to share what he has learned about Muzi’s situation.

We have lost a little bit of momentum since the announcement of the marriage between Muzi and Lerato, but I needed more time to explore various opportunities to make his transplant happen. Even though the Minister of Health in Swaziland has publicly declared that he will fund Muzi’s transplant, the official authorisation has still not been granted.

I am confident that the High Commissioner has Muzi’s interest at heart and await his response with great anticipation.
