Eswatini has shut schools indefinitely as pro-democracy protests intensified.
The pro-democracy protests have escalated in recent weeks with pupils and public-transport workers joining the calls for change. King Mswati who’s ruled Eswatini for more than 35 years, has dismissed the demands and rights groups have accused his security forces of abuses, including killings and beatings.
Two MPs who’ve been at the forefront of calls for democracy and who were arrested in July on terrorism charges are due to appear in court for a bail hearing on Tuesday, the Eswatini Observer reported. “There is no room for such anarchy in our society,” commerce minister Manqoba Khumalo said in a statement on Monday. “As His Majesty King Mswati III has communicated a number of times, dialogue will be initiated with all emaSwati to find an allied solution to our political future.
