Swaziland communist party warns of violent crackdown on civil servants strike


 The Communist Party of Swaziland claimes that King Mswati the Third is in South Africa with three of his wives to escape from the mounting workers' struggle in that country.

The organisation says King Mswati always flees Swaziland ahead of any violent clampdown on activists.

The Swazi communist party says security forces are preparing to violently suppress a strike by civil servants which has been ongoing for several weeks.

The organisation has called on governments of the SADEC region and the international community to condemn the actions of the dictatorship and to impose boycotts and sanctions against King Mswati and his regime.
