The Supreme Court of Eswatini rejected an appeal filed by businessman and political activist Zweli Dlamini. The lower High Court had denied him bail, and the higher court upheld that decision. Judges referenced the seriousness of the accusations levelled against Dlamini as a factor in their ruling. They also noted his possession of dual citizenship, which they said could facilitate an attempt to avoid prosecution. The court expressed concern that he might flee the country by crossing into a neighboring state. As a result, Dlamini will remain in pre‑trial detention. The ruling was reported by the Times of Eswatini.
