News / Nationalby Staff reporterFormer Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has been accused on social media of having a role in the death of activist Patson Dzamara, after Mliswa's ex-girlfriend, Susan Mutami, made sensational claims on her X (formerly Twitter) account. The allegations, which name Mliswa directly, have re-ignited long-running public interest in the Dzamara family's unresolved saga.Mutami's post is explicit and angry. She wrote that Mliswa "is the reason why Patson Dzamara is no longer with us today," and accused him of being "Patson Dzamara's killer," adding profanities and sharply personal attacks in a thread that has circulated widely online. The posts also repeat other grievances Mutami has aired publicly about Mliswa and their child.Patson Dzamara — who campaigned publicly for answers about the disappearance of his brother Itai Dzamara — died of colon cancer in August 2020, a fact widely reported by international and local media. For now the record shows a public allegation by Mutami, the confirmed facts of Patson's 2020 death from cancer, and the long-standing unresolved disappearance of Itai Dzamara.
