Eswatini,a tiny Kingdom ruled by Mswati as an absolute Monarch has reporting several times to the International Labour Organization(ILO) for violating workers rights.<\/p>\n

Addressing the thousands of workers at the Mayaluka Stadium,Mduduzi Gina, the TUCOSWA Secretary General urged all workers in the country to take action against the closure of the University of Eswatini (UNESWA).<\/p>\n

The institution of higher learning was temporarily closed amid protests by Lecturers in demand for a salary increment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorkers should take action against the closure of UNESWA because this means the country is no-longer prrouducing the required human resources. It means the future of this country is bleak and we must be worried as a Nation.This illustrate the magnitude of how much Mswati\u2019s government has failed the people,\u201dsaid TUCOSWA Secretary General.<\/p>\n

Political organizations who attended the May Day celebrations include the People\u2019s United Democratic Movement(PUDEMO),the Swaziland Liberation Movement(SWALIMO),the Communist Party of Swaziland(CPS), the Ngwane National Liberatory Congress(NNLC) and the Swaziland Democratic Party(SWADEPA).<\/p>\n
