THE Communist Party of Swaziland has called on the youth of African nations to mobilise following accusations that soldiers viciously assaulted a student leader.

Swaziland National Union of Students president Colani Maseko was reportedly seen being attacked by members of the armed forces during a campus protest demanding free education on Monday. 

He was allegedly dragged into the back of an army vehicle in the Kwaluseni campus of the University of Swaziland where he was badly beaten.
