Swazis 'plot' against king
Bobo Lukhele

Nelspruit, South Africa - Swaziland's pro-democracy activists and anti-monarchists will defy a ban on political gatherings and hold a major strategy conference in South Africa's Mpumalanga province this month.

The Swaziland Youth Congress (Swayoco) will officially open its 7th general parliament of Swazi youth in Matsulu, east of Nelspruit, on June 18 and plan a political offensive against the kingdom's Tinkhundla, or monarchist system of government.

"Due to all the harassment we knew we'd get from the state's agents in Swaziland, we opted for Mpumalanga as a venue," said Swayoco's secretary general Kenneth Kunene.
