STATEMENT ON SNUS PRESIDENT MAXWELL'S BIRTHDAY 28 NOVEMBER 2011
This is a very important day in the lives of the students for, it is the birthday of our commander, comrade Maxwell Dlamini. *He has been behind bars for seven months now *and we do not take kindly to that as the Swaziland National Union of Students [SNUS]. As such we call for his release. Today, however, we are celebrating the birthday of this young lion. His nominations for the World Student Peace Price by Afrika Kontact and the Honorary Presidency by the British students thereof, perhaps tell everything that needs to be told about the esteem in which we as students hold him. Maxwell's activism and leadership in SNUS, his refusal to betray his people, his movements and his principles in the face of state repression, including the seven months incarceration and his determination to always stand up even to the wrath of our people, to affirm everything that is just and humane, communicate precisely the massage, and serve as a concrete proof of the reality that freedom is possible in our lifetime. For his willingness to make the necessary sacrifices for the Swazi people, for what he has taught us about the need for selfless dedication to the uplifting of the masses and for what his life has reaffirmed, that freedom is imminent, we say happy birthday comrade President Maxwell. As we say happy birthday we commit ourselves to give meaning to this message of goodwill and hope. We must also answer in a practical way and through everything we do, the critically important question; what will we do to build on the momentum for the struggle? We commit ourselves always to strive to advance the goals and ideas to which he has dedicated his life-the idea of a democratic and free Swaziland. Happy birthday nkokheli! *Issued by the Swaziland National Union of Students [SNUS]* *Mlungisi Khumalo SNUS Vice President* *(268) 76 325 448 * -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
