ONLY people’s power will bring democracy to Swaziland, communists warned today, as the persecution of party members continued in a series of raids by armed police. 

Security forces descended on the Msunduza community in the city of Mbabane on Wednesday, claiming to be searching for “guns and grenades.”

Police alleged that the weapons were to be used in an insurrection aming to overthrow the government of autocratic ruler King Mswati III.
