SWAZILAND, ruled as an absolute monarch, may soon be following the tide that is sweeping across Southern Africa as demands for democracy grow bolder and opposition political leaders come out of their closets. They are the People’s United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO), the Swaziland United Front (SUF) and the Swaziland National Front (SWANAFRO). Although political parties are still banned, the young leader of the kingdom has called for discussion on constitutional development. There are also two major groups which are politically involved but claim they are not political parties. The greatest problem the opposition parties are facing, however, is not harassment but their failure to organize meetings.
