Johannesburg-Pressure is mounting on Africa’s last absolute monarch, King Mswati, pictured, to introduce democratic reforms in eSwatini as political temperatures continue to rise amid widespread protests for change.
Mswati on Saturday agreed to a national dialogue as pushed by the Southern African Development Community (SADC), led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, in his role as chairperson of the SADC organ on politics, defense, and security cooperation.
“I wish to reaffirm SADC’s solidarity and support to the people and government of eSwatini towards the achievement of practical and sustainable solutions to enable peace to prevail in the country,” Ramaphosa said in a statement.
