Democracy arriving in our last enclave

I have followed King Mswati III's life with great interest since my son James started asking me questions about him. The man is one of the last true despots in the world. And he is definitely going down.

The Jasmine Revolution that has spread its discontent from North Africa has taken fire in Swaziland, and Swazi King Mswati III has declared war on his own people, an NGO warned this weekend.

In the wake of Friday’s mass protests in Mbabane, the Swazi capital, Lucky Lukhele, spokesman for the Swaziland Solidarity Network, said the protests, which also took place outside the Swazi consulate in Johannesburg, were “a trial run” for an uprising that is to take place all over Swaziland on April 12.
