The Swaziland Communist Party (SWACOPA), is a political party in Swaziland. SWACOPA was founded around the year 1994. It was led by Mphandlana Shongwe and Zakhe Genindza.

SWACOPA's activities were suppressed by the regime, and several cadres detained. Following the removal of the 1973 decree to make way for the new constitution, the party has been one of the first to register as an official political party.

Swazi opposition appeals to SADC
Written by Chibaula Silwamba, Mutuna Chanda and Fridah Zinyama
SWAZILAND's opposition political party, Ngwane National Liberatory Congress (NNLC), has appealed to the SADC and other international community organizations to urgently help democratize Swaziland before the political situation there gets out of hand.

Speaking in Johannesburg, South Africa where NNLC is lobbying the international community to intervene in the political situation in Swaziland, NNLC member Simangele Mmema said the situation in her country was terrible because the King Mswati had immense powers and that political parties were still banned.

"Our King appoints the Prime Minister, he appoints the cabinet, and all board chairpersons. Human rights violations are the order of the day in our country. The King himself even made a statement to the effect that in his life time there will be no political party in Swaziland. Right now, as I speak, all political parties still remain banned," Mmeme said.

She said Swaziland's current constitution was flawed and was not an all inclusive exercise.

Mmema said the oppressive environment in Swaziland was causing breakdown of law because people were now taking the law in their own hands.

"We have reached such a desperate situation in our country and people are now taking matters in their own hands," she said. "There have been spats of bomb attacks around the country as youths are trying to kill the King. Last week two youths were killed by their own bomb which they were trying to plant under the bridge where King Mswati was supposed to pass in five minutes' time. One of the people who died was a member of the SACP."

She, therefore, said after her interaction with the South Africa Communist Party (SACP), she was scared that she might be arrested upon return to Swaziland because the government suspected that the SACP was the one supplying bombs to people opposed to the government in that country.

"This is why I am saying I might be arrested when I go back because they will suspect that I am carrying bombs from the South Africa Communist Party," Mmeme said.

She said there was a break down in the rule of law. The courts rulings are being over looked.

She said political and civil society activists' homes were being raided on a daily basis and their families victimized by not being given scholarships and international passports.

She said the government had set up surveillance to monitor whatever the activists did where ever they [activists] went.

"There is also suppression of terrorism Act; where terrorism has not been clearly defined. It is specifically targeting those with dissenting views to such an extent that the president of the People's Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) has been arrested for uttering words at the funeral of those who were bombed to the effect that they died for a good cause," Mmema said.

Mmema said the president of PUDEMO refused to sign for a bail demanding that he wanted his cases to be disposed off quickly.

She said the rights of the president of PUDEMO were violated because the authorities were not allowing his colleagues and diplomats to visit him in prison.

She said the only people that were allowed to visit him were his wife, children, lawyer and doctor.

"We are unable to visit the president of PUDEMO, we are denied that right," Mmeme said. "Even the British ambassador who had travelled all the way from Pretoria, South Africa to visit him had been denied permission to visit him."

Mmema said political parties were challenging the some closes of the terrorism Act in the courts of law.

"Swaziland is now officially a military state"

afrol News, 19 November - Swaziland's now outlawed opposition party, Pudemo, warns that the Kingdom is now quickly turning into a military dictatorship, using its new terrorism legislation to deploy military police in the streets of Mbabane to chase peaceful dissidents.

The Swazi opposition party Peoples United Democratic Movement (Pudemo), together with civil society organisations, were banned on 14 November for being "enemies of peace, stability, security and national progress." Pudemo President Mario Masuku has been charged with making utterances in support of "terrorism". On Monday, Attorney General Majahenkhaba Dlamini warned that journalists who report critically against the government would be viewed as "supporting terrorists" and arrested.

The increased oppression of Swazi dissidents came after fraudulent elections in August, King Mswati's appointment of a new government of his choice and the recent passing of the controversial Suppression of Terrorism Act. Certain provisions of the Act empower the new Prime Minister to declare virtually anyone or anything to be a terrorist entity, something government now has started doing.

These developments today caused the Pudemo leadership, now mostly in hiding in South Africa, to issue a statement warning about the deterioration in the country. The "terrorist"-branded opposition party claims that King Mswati has indeed implemented a military coup, now using Swazi armed forces under his firm control to oppress the people.

"The army is out. Swaziland is now officially a military state," the Pudemo statement says. "The army is wearing deceptive aprons written military police. No intention to protect but to throttle," it adds.

The party, which has been outlawed and persecuted by King Mswati at several occasions, however claims it is not surprised by the use of military forces to stop the Swazi democracy movement. The unleashing of the army was announced long time ago, around July, by their commander Sobantu Dlamini," Pudemo holds, referring to Mr Dlamini's public statement that it was also the aim of the army to flush out Pudemo.

Swaziland is just the latest example of repressive regimes to use questionable "terrorism" legislation to deploy the army in its fight to root out dissidents. "Remember Mandela, Biko and Sobukwe were all 'terrorists'," Pudemo recalls, pointing to South African freedom fighters that brought the apartheid system to its knees.

Also the Swaziland Law Society, in a brave recent statement, has questioned the new methods employed by King Mswati's government. It found the "terrorism" legislation was questionable in that it sought to undermine basic civil rights, the rule of law, independence of the judiciary and separation of powers. The lawyers hold the Act "abrogates most of the fundamental rights" Swazi citizens enjoy under the constitution.

Pudemo meanwhile announces that "the struggle continues," emphasising it remains committed to peaceful means.

The Swazi party is successfully gathering much support in other Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, increasing pressure on SADC leaders to take a tougher stance on the absolute Swazi monarch. Especially in South Africa, Pudemo enjoys strong support from groupings forming part of the ruling ANC party, including its Youth League, the Communist Party and the COSATU trade union.

(en) South Africa, An anarchist Journal Zabalaza: #7 - SWAZILAND AFTER THE BOMBINGS by MK (ZACF, Swaziland) and Michael Schmidt
Date Wed, 03 Jan 2007 11 : 17 : 44 +0200

SIn December and January, the royal dictatorship of Swaziland was rocked by a series of 17 petrol-bombings of state targets by pro-democracy militants. No-one was seriously injured in the attacks, but the paranoid state overplayed its hand, arresting several militants and charging them with treason, which normally carries the death penalty, for an offence that at most amounted to damage to private property.
