Labor groups in Swaziland, sub-Saharan Africa’s last absolute monarchy, marched in Manzini, the biggest city, today to demand democracy, said Vincent Ncongwane, secretary-general of the Swaziland Federation of Labor.
About 1,000 protesters, closely watched by police, demonstrated in the second day of a week of protests to force political change, Ncongwane said in an interview in the city. The group included leaders from the Congress of South African Trade Unions, he said.
