JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Two activists from Swaziland said Tuesday they are worried about their safety after the Swazi prime minister reportedly said they should be strangled for traveling to Washington during a recent summit of African leaders.
Labor leader Vincent Ncongwane and lawyer Sipho Gumedze appeared at a news conference in Johannesburg to express their concern but did not say when they plan to return to the southern African kingdom. They called for free expression in Swaziland, which is ruled by King Mswati III, Africa’s last absolute monarch.
