Thursday 7 October 2021:- The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) conveys its heartfelt condolences to the family of one of Swaziland’s well known and long serving trade unionists, Comrade Vincent Ncongwane who died on Thursday 7 October 2021.
The CPS also sends its condolences to his union, Swaziland Union of Financial Institutions and Allied Workers, which he was leading as Secretary General at the time of his death, as well as the entire working class of Swaziland and liberation movement on this loss.
Comrade Vincent Ncongwane was a former Secretary General of the Swaziland Federation of Labour. He was also the former Secretary General of the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA).
He was passionate in his advocacy for the recognition and respect of workers’ rights, as well as the call for the democratisation of Swaziland.
In his memory, the CPS calls for unity of organised workers, the organising of the organised into workers’ unions, and the strengthening of the trade union movement. Workers must unite and strengthen their federation, TUCOSWA, in the fight for democracy.
The CPS calls upon the trade union movement to intensify its participation in the Democracy Now nationwide protests which are calling for the total overthrow of the absolute monarch.
