*SIYAYA eSWAZILAND: Forward to the 7th September, 2010 Global day of action*
* * The SDC – South Africa convened Civil society meeting held in Johannesburg this past week took the opportunity to welcome the growing momentum towards the 7th September Global Day of Action in Swaziland. After receiving the state of readiness report, it then identified specific action areas to be tightened in the final days of the build-up. These identified specific action areas are; · *The 5th September, 2010 (this coming Sunday) is an international day of prayer* in all churches and religious organisations for democracy in Swaziland. It is dedicated to the suffering people of Swaziland and their desire to be free. · *The SDC shall be organising trips to other countries in the SADC region* to organise and mobilise support for the Swazi cause, which shall be arranged in conjunction with Swazi civil society organisations to intensify the international campaign for democracy in Swaziland. In the trips, we shall meet governments, civil society and other structures in each country. · *Press Conferences, both in South Africa and inside Swaziland*shall be held this Wednesday to inform the world and people about the state of readiness · *SDC must write to all civil society organisations* calling for their continuing commitment and effective participation by indicating their final delegations for the global day of action · Wednesday shall be the day for *final blitzing *on the streets · We have secured the support and services of the *Southern African Human Rights Defenders Trust to work on the case of Thobile Gwebu* who is facing difficulties in the UK. Finally, we took the opportunity to salute the hard work and dedication of all organisations and people involved in preparing for the Global Day of Action inside Swaziland. We take note of their efforts to make every home, church, workplace, school, social and cultural centre, and every community a site of struggle. *The next and final meeting of Civil society shall be held at the same venue, COSATU House, this coming Friday (3rd September, 2010), starting at 9am.* * * The history of Swaziland shall be written before and after the 7thSeptember,2010.
