Background

Sithole was the leader of the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions (SFTU) for 25 years. He stepped down in October 2009.

In 1995, Sithole was threatened with deportation, and later kidnapped and abandoned in the boot of a car.

He was arrested on 30 January 1997 in an attempt to head off a general strike, along with SFTU senior officers, Richard Nxumalo, Jabulani Nxumalo and Themba Msibi. They were charged with threatening bus company owners to keep their vehicles off the road, but were released after a magistrate found there was no basis to the charges.

In 2002 he was publicly threatened by a Swazi senator and government delegate to the International Labour Organization.

Parliament

In the 20 September 2013 elections for Swaziland’s House of Assembly, Sithole was elected as one of 55 MPs, nominally as an independent (since Swaziland does not recognize political parties. Sithole and his organization were pledged to reform the current governance system in Swaziland from the inside, to “achieve a multiparty Swaziland but through a strategy of participating, as opposed to non-participation”. He stated that he was not the only member of his party elected.

Rubin Carter’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Rubin Carter net worth: Rubin Carter was an American middleweight boxer who had a net worth of $500 thousand dollars. Rubin “Hurricane” Carter was born in Clifton, New Jersey, and after falling into a life of crime in his early-teens, he was locked up in a juvenile detention facility. He escaped the facility and joined the Army. While stationed in West Germany, he began boxing. After returning to the United Sates, he fell back into his old criminal life, and was eventually locked up for four years. After his release, Rubin began boxing again, eventually achieving a ranking of the 3rd best middleweight fighter in the US, in the early 1960s. His career began to decline in the mid-60s, however. He fought 40 bouts and won 27 of them, 19 by knock out. He is most widely remembered for being arrested and imprisoned for a triple homicide in New Jersey in which there was absolutely no evidence against him and for which no eyewitnesses recognized him. The case was finally thrown out in 1985, 18 years after the original trial. Rubin’s story was first made famous by the Bob Dylan song “Hurricane” and years later was turned into a movie starring Denzel Washington. Rubin Carter died on April 20, 2014 at the age of 76.
