BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR SWAZILAND

Readers are asking us to explain the differences between the pro-democracy groups working for Swaziland.

They ask, what are the SSN, SUDF, SDC, SNUS, SCCCO, PUDEMO, SWAYOCO, SFL, SFTU and TUCOSWA?

What indeed?

But those are just the half of it. Here are some other groups working for the emancipation of the Swazi people that you must support.

ENJOY!
