Surely U will have something to keep in your archives , something which will make you think of the year 2012 and wish it had more drama , laughter and craziness...

SUCKER PUNCH OF SOME OF THE ALREADY PREPARED CONTENT:

A bag full corporate infighting, Boycotts, Promises, Garbage debates, Everlasting empty promises, glaring economic collapse as it had been experienced by the once powerful Greece. Now that our parliamentarians are gearing for their exit packages as the country prepares for the 2013 elections. I guess they will shy away from the social scene following their failure to ensure an economic growth for the ordinary Swazi who according to the international journalistic front being fed with ‘nothing’ as compared to the country’s politicians fat cheques.

Just like Greece I guess the once peaceful Kingdom has been attacked by the economic Hitman as John Perkins would in most instances refer to the world’s inability to deal with economic challenges.

I am still not sure how the country’s leadership defines democracy  due to the fact that protests action, liberation of the ordinary citizens human rights, labour outcries are treated in isolation. It is for this reason that the less than five political movements which amongst them include the People’s Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) and its youth wing the Swaziland Youth Congress (SWAYOCO); remain being labelled ‘terrorism groups.

Following the country’s continued ‘begging’ of the South Africa government E2.4 billion bailout , the Swazi people are not the ones interested in the loan but it remains government efforts to save face in their failure to curb corruption and exhorbent spending in recent years.

God loves us and we should thank Him,” taken from Times of Swaziland report titled “2012 A YEAR OF BENJAMINS”- by His Majesty King Mswati III during the annual prayer service at Lozitha Palace.

 - -         “My country is monitoring the situation in Swaziland closely, even though the lawyers boycott has ended for the time being. As we said in response to media inquiries on the, we applaud those in the legal community, who have chosen to stand up for judicial independence and the rule of law despite loss of personal income,” United States Ambassador to Swaziland Earl Irving was quoted by Swazi Observer where he explained that his country was concerned with any infringement on a person’s right to access justice or any threat to judicial independence.

- -         “I don’t understand these people who are turning funerals into social gatherings by drinking alcohol. I thought alcohol was for one to enjoy and be happy noT to drink and then go to a funeral,” were words from Magistrate Sindisile Zwane.
