Country profile: Swaziland Languages: Swazi, English (both official) King: Mswati III The Kingdom of Swaziland  Religions: Christianity, indigenous beliefs African Fertilizer Financing Mechanism Agriculture is the mainstay of most African economies and source of employment and income for at least 65% of Africa's population. It is also an indirect source of income for many millions more, since it transcends the continent's entire economy via numerous linkages to the non-farm sector. Agricultural development is, therefore, vital to Africa's economic growth and it is particularly vital to alleviating poverty and to achieving food security. Yet, African agriculture lags behind all developing regions and continues to witness declining productivity due to the degradation of soils and agricultural production ecosystem. This situation, if not addressed, will remain as one of the biggest challenges to sustainability of the continent's agriculture, as well as its economic prosperity, and prospects for meeting the MDGs. The kingdom of Swaziland is one of the world's last remaining absolute monarchies. Its king rules by decree over his million subjects, most of whom live in the countryside and follow traditional ways of life. The power of the throne, however, has not gone unchallenged. Overview Overview Facts Leaders Media King Mswati III, on the throne since 1986, is upholding the tradition of his father, King Sobhuza II, who reigned for almost 61 years and had scores of wives. AT-A-GLANCE   Politics: King Mswati III - on the throne since 1986 - rules by decree and says the country is not yet ready for multi-party politics Economy: Thousands have lost their jobs as garment and sugar export industries have lost trading concessions International: Swaziland has diplomatic ties with Taiwan rather than China   Timeline King Sobhuza scrapped the constitution in 1973 and banned political parties. King Mswati has shown no enthusiasm for sharing power, but banned opposition parties and trade unions have been vocal in their demands for greater democracy and limits on the king's power. With peaceful change in neighbouring South Africa and Mozambique, Swaziland has been described as an island of dictatorship in a sea of democracy. Royalists have argued that democracy creates division, and that a monarch is a strong unifying force. A long-awaited constitution, signed by the king in 2005 and introduced in 2006, cemented his rule. Swaziland is virtually homogenous, most of the population being of the same tribe. Economically, it relies on South Africa, which receives almost half of Swazi exports and supplies most of its imports. Many Swazis live in chronic poverty and food shortages are widespread. Aids is taking a heavy toll with more than 40% of the population believed infected with HIV. The virus has killed many workers and farmers and has created thousands of orphans. Life expectancy has plummeted.

The king, who is known as Ngweyama - "the lion" - often appears in public in traditional dress and has many wives. He rules by decree and has been criticised for the heavy-handed treatment of opponents. The king has also been criticised for requesting public money to pay for new palaces, a personal jet and luxury cars. Street protests led him to abandon the aircraft purchase. Media Overview Facts Leaders Media State control of the media is strong. The government controls all radio and TV stations with the exception of a Christian radio station. Freedom of expression in the press is seriously restricted. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders says the sole private daily is largely given over to "news trivia, entertainment and sports". "Criticising the king is inconceivable," it adds.
