AS the situation in Eswatini deepens, so does the mystery around the whereabouts of King Mswati III.
On Wednesday, 30 June, the stand-off between security forces and citizens worsened as the armed forces opened fire on protesters.
Protesters ran amok destroying property and targeted some companies including Swaziland Breweries, which is linked to the king.
Mswati is under pressure to surrender power, which he’s held since 1986.
Critics demand he makes way for the establishment of a democratically-elected president. Amid the escalating clashes which have drawn international criticism, Mswati has been silent which has given weight to the rumours he has “fled” the county.
