MASS PROTEST TO REINSTATE JUDGE

A one day mass protest involving civic organisations, labour unions and political parties is being planned for Thursday (6 October 2011) to demand the reinstatement of sacked High Court Judge Thomas Masuku, the Times of Swaziland reports today (4 October 2011).

The protest action follows a meeting held on Saturday at the SNAT Centre where labour organisations had congregated to discuss, among other issues, the judicial crisis.

The Swaziland Federation of Labour (SFL), Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions (SFTU) and Swaziland National Association of Teachers (SNAT), resolved to first petition Parliament on Thursday before lobbying stakeholders and other organisations including the Local Kombis Association to join in.

Also joining the organisations on Thursday will be political parties including PUDEMO, Ngwane National Liberatory Congress and the Law Society.
