Inside Police standoff with Eswatini consul Bamwine

However, the Kingdom of Eswatini revoked his appointment in an October 31, 2025, letter from Ambassador Mahlaba Mamba. Another source said: “The reports that reached the foreign ministry portrayed Bamwine as overstepping his diplomatic role and engaging in activities unbecoming of a consul.” 

Sources said that fresh summons were issued after Bamwine failed to honour earlier summons where detectives required him to appear on October 30, in respect to the case of obtaining money by false pretences. (Courtesy Photo)
