Swaziland

Over the past few days, the mass of the people of Swaziland: workers, students, women, rural and landless masses, churches and other faith-based organisations, social movements, NGOs and the rest of civil society networks have confronted the tinkhundla system on a scale unheard of before.

“The walls of Mbabane were vibrating with the shouts of Viva Pudemo [banned political party">, viva Swayoco [youth wing of Pudemo">,” says Secretary General of Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions Mduduzi Gina.

This call was initiated by activists on the International Student Movement - Africa (ISM-Africa) platform.
