MBABANE - Swaziland has banned protests planned for next week, Prime Minister Barnabas Dlamini said yesterday, warning the public not to join anti-government rallies.
In a strongly worded statement, Dlamini said organisers of the three-day protests planned to start on Tuesday did not have permission to march.
"This then renders the protest illegal. We do not, therefore, expect any individual to participate in any such proposed protest action," he said.
"Government accordingly strongly warns those organising and intending to participate in the protest action to refrain from doing so and continue with their normal day-to-day business."
