Two Days of Pro-Democracy Demonstrations in Swaziland« Thread Started on Jul 28, 2007, 11:27am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two Days of Pro-Democracy Demonstrations in Swaziland By Joe De Capua Washington26 July 2007read at source> http://www.voanews.com/english/Africa/2 ... a45.cfmFor the past two days, Swaziland has been the scene of large demonstrations, possibly the biggest pro-democracy protests in 10 years. VOA reporter Delia Robertson is following the story. From Johannesburg, he tells English to Africa Service reporter Joe De Capua about the new demonstrations. “Although the demonstrations are by their trade unions and workers, in fact they are democracy demonstrations. They have been very large by Swaziland standards. Yesterday (Wednesday), there was a major demonstration in the second city of Manzini and today (Thursday) apparently thousands of workers demonstrated in the capital Mbabane. And their demands essentially have to do around democracy issues,” she says.
