family valuables which my name as his first son was used as his next of kin
inline with the documentation with me that was issued to my late father by
the security company as at the time of the deposit of the trunk box , This
money was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms
and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.
