Swaziland: Planting pro-democracy activism in schools

Catch them younger!" is the new mantra of the youth wing of Swaziland's banned political party, the People's United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO), as it tries to gather more support for its pro-democracy campaign. "We have to nurture students from primary schools so that they can become familiar with the struggle, rather than hoping to get them when they are at university," said Alex Langwenya, president of the Swaziland Youth Congress (SWAYOCO), PUDEMO's youth movement.
