Top US diplomat gives Eswatini human rights lawyer's widow prestigious award
The widow of the late Eswatini human rights and pro-democracy activist Thulani Maseko says she has found courage knowing that though her husband was assassinated, what he fought for lives on. Maseko, the chair of the Muti-stakeholders Forum, was killed in early 2023. This month US Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave Thulani's widow Tanele the Secretary's Human Rights Defenders Award. She tells VOA's James Butty the award is bittersweet.
