Urgent Action Update: 61 people remain homeless after forced eviction in Swaziland

Four families, consisting of 61 people including 33 children, remain homeless after they were forcibly evicted and had their homes demolished in the Emphetseni farming area, Malkerns on 9 April. The families were not given adequate notice of the eviction and have had to find their own temporary accommodation, resulting in most of them having to be separated. The Swazi government has failed to meet the affected families and provide them with alternative housing and they continue to be at risk of further human rights violations. The four forcibly evicted families have made several attempts to meet with Swazi authorities, including officials from the Deputy Prime Minister’s office, to ask that the government provides them with alternative housing. However, they have not been successful. The families were forcibly evicted from their homes and their houses demolished in Emphetseni, Malkerns on 9 April 2018 in the presence of the Sheriff of the High Court of Mbabane and armed local police officers. The families were not given adequate notice and were only informed a day before the eviction that an eviction order had been granted by a court on 14 July 2017. As a result of the eviction, individual family members have had to split up due to being unable to find adequate temporary housing. The women and children have been accommodated in temporary rental accommodation. Other family members have remained in the places of shelter in which they were housed following the eviction. The private farming company that owns the land on which the homes were built and applied for the eviction met with the affected families on 2 May 2018 and gave them 10,000 Emalangeni (approx. 850 USD) and a cow per family, indicating that it was a donation to the families and not compensation for the eviction. The amount provided to the families is insufficient to secure adequate alternative housing. The families remain homeless and at risk of various other human rights violations. According to the parents, their children are traumatised by the eviction and have been unable to focus at school which could affect their performance in school.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Please write immediately in English or your own language:

Calling on the authorities to ensure that the forcibly evicted families are given adequate alternative housing as a matter of urgency in respect of their right to adequate housing;

Calling on the authorities to take steps to ensure that victims of forced evictions do not face further human rights violations resulting from the forced evictions;

Urging them to end forced evictions and ensure that evictions are carried out in strict compliance with international and regional human rights standards.

PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 11 JULY 2018 TO:

The Right Honourable Prime Minister Dr. Sibusiso Barnabus Dlamini Cabinet Offices, Hospital Hill Mbabane, Swaziland Fax : +268 2404 3943 Email : [email protected] Salutation: Dear Prime Minister

Swaziland denies purchasing luxury cars for the king’s birthday

IRL/GB

Swaziland denies purchasing luxury cars for the king’s birthday

According to Swaziland’s Sunday Observer, dignitaries at the king’s party will be chauffeured in top-of-the-range BMW 740i sedans.

According to reports from Africa, Swaziland’s Ministry of Public Works and Transport Principal Secretary Makhosini Mndawe has denied that the government bought a fleet of cars worth $7.5 million ahead of King Mswati III’s 50th birthday. However, Mndawe’s denial contradicts a report from the government ministry.

Swaziland marks the king’s birthday and the 50th anniversary of independence from Great Britain on 19 April 2018 in the so-called 50/50 celebration.

King Mswati III is Africa’s last absolute monarch and according to Swaziland’s Sunday Observer, a newspaper which is owned by the king, Mndawe said dignitaries at the party would be chauffeured in top-of-the-range BMW 740i sedans that were purchased for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Summit held in 2016.

But the independent Times Sunday reported the Ministry of Public Works and Transport had announced the Emalangeni 89 million ($7.5 million) purchase of the luxury BMW cars in a report tabled in parliament, said Rooney.

“It said the cars would be used by the Close Protection Unit, which is responsible for protecting dignitaries.”

There were no further details as to how the vehicles, which were bought through Mbabane’s Central Transport Administration (CTA), were provided.

That Swaziland Solo Trip

Anyone who's ever done a group trip knows all about the shrink in number realities when the day approaches. And I will tell you this; I've organised and been on a handful, but you see the Swaziland trip showed me flames in this regard. The last hopeful out of 8 dropped the bomb a day before departure. I threw a brief pity party at the realization of no sing-out loud episodes in the car, cool group pics in the middle of the road, in front of the coolest backdrop. That was short lived as hype myself up mode kicked in; plotting solo fantasies for the next five days escape.

Nkoyoyo Dam

Thursday, 22 December came, long distance administration were underway at the hub of economic travel. eMalangeni sighting and the typical distractions that come with being in a taxi rank were part of the Wanderers taxi rank (joburg taxi rank) scenery. Four hours later we crossed the Mahamba border, the big deal moment- you know that look around for spectators typa moment, this was it for me with gentle humming as I captured everything that said Swaziland. Nhlangano was my first base, at an old pal's homestead, the small city gave a nolstagic Nongoma trip with its rural picturesque and one main road. Alot of activity went on at the pal's place- different groupings taking on chores as a collective;young males huddled by the fallen cow, some older Mama's in the kitchen and younger females sorting out the gifts inside all in preparation of Nozi's send off before her traditional wedding that Saturday.

Nhlangano

Friday morning the adventure began,a newly acquired bud Gugu took on the hill behind the Host's home. We summitted the backdrop in no time, set up camp at a shady spot at the peak and for a good forty five minutes took in the beauty below us. The rest of the day was filled with festivities as the community came in numbers for Nozi's pre-wedding ceremony. Saturday came and Nozi's send off was a good 5 hour road travel from Nhlangano to Luve. The journey offered beautiful scenery with flowing mountains and a touch of urban life as we drove through Manzini.

Ezulwini between Mbabane and Manzini was the next base at a local backpackers, it was pretty much a ghost town over the Christmas weekend. A brief walk led me to Mantenga Natural Reserve, the distant waterfall spotting was an anti climax but the guided cultural tour and dance redeemed the spot. Ezulwini proved to be pretty central and public transport friendly, later in the day I took a local taxi to the Mbabane township; Nkoyoyo. My local host led me to her backyard secret gem, a beautiful dam just a few streets from her house.

Mantenga Cultural Village

The next day I committed to a solo 5km hike, really took the route lightly. The intense steep and rather forestry character with foreign noises humbled me... okay okay nearly wet my pants. A strange dog came to my rescue and lived up to the saying dog's are a man's best friend. Doggy sniffed and peed away as he led the path, stopping now and then alarming me of foreign sounds. Often his gestures seemed like a signal to turn back as my mind ironically replayed scenes of the move 24 Hours. A good hour later Doggy and I were at the peak of Sheba's breast sharing water and KFC and doing all the celebration stuff a dog and a man does. The rest of the day was easy as I secretly celebrated the hike victory, a stop at the water springs was disappointing. The bargains at the market outside the Southern Sun made it all well, that evening I lazied around the backpackers with new buds before making my way back to the city of gold the next morning.

Nominees for 2020 Coin of the Year Awards Determined

It’s that time of year again! Time to start the process of narrowing down nominations for the Coin of the Year Program. Australian coins came out on top, earning a total of nine nominations in eight different categories, as the 37th annual Coin of the Year (COTY) program kicked off with nominee selection of 2018-dated coins.

The awards competition, presented by World Coin News and sponsored by The Journal of East Asian Numismatics, begins each year when the COTY Nomination Committee convenes to select the nominees.

More than 1,000 coins from 45 issuing entities around the world were considered when the panel met Oct. 24-25 in Stevens Point, Wis. Two days of deliberation resulted in a total of 100 nominees: 10 coins in each of the 10 award categories.

“Coming into this year’s Coin of the Year nominating committee meeting, I think many of us thought it might be a difficult year to fill each category with 10 candidates,” said Tom Michael, longtime market analyst, industry reference editor, and COTY coordinator. “When we wrapped it up a day later, we had our 100 nominees from 41 countries, and it seemed that everyone was quite satisfied that we had a fine selection to present to the judges.”

Leading the pack with the highest number of nominations is Australia with its nine nominations, consisting of five coins issued by The Perth Mint and four coins issued by the Royal Australian Mint. The country earned one spot in the Most Artistic Coin, Best Circulating Coin, Best Crown Coin, Most Historically Significant Coin, Most Innovative Coin, Most Inspirational Coin, and Best Silver Coin categories while garnering two nominations in the Best Gold Coin category. Just two categories – Best Bi-Metallic Coin and Best Contemporary Event Coin – are without Australian nominees.

Following closely behind is Great Britain’s Royal Mint with a total of eight nominees in all but the Most Artistic and Most Innovative categories.

French coins earned six nominations, and there is a four-way tie among Canada, China, Germany, and the United States for five nominations each. Austria and Italy round out the list of most nominations with four each.

At a total of 51 nominations, these nine countries make up more than half of the total nominations.

There are also some new-comers to the nominee roster. Countries who made the cut this year who were not on last year’s (2017-dated coin) list are: Barbados, Belgium, Cambodia, Djibouti, Fiji, Greece, Ireland, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Swaziland and Ukraine.

“Of the 41 countries represented in the COTY 100 list, there were 13 countries which had not seen a nomination last year,” said Michael. “Some of those may not have seen a nomination in some time, but all of them released worthy coins in 2018 that were recognized by the nominating committee. While many of the coins discussed at our meeting come to us directly from a mint, central bank or distributor, each year committee members bring to the meeting several coins, not suggested externally that they feel deserve recognition. Eight of those 13 new nominees this year made it to the COTY 100 list through the careful observation and commitment of COTY nomination committee members.”

For Michael, a shift in the type of coins selected for the Contemporary category was a notable change this year.

“The Contemporary category has four base metal coins this year, which is rather unusual, but indicative of the fact that circulating commemorative coins are hosting some excellent themes as our 21st-century advances.”

A complete list of the nominees in each category follows.

Let’s Talk Hair Care

Before arriving in Eswatini I severely damaged my hair, I dyed it maybe 4 times in less than a week. My curls died and were in desperate need of revival so, I got a diva cut hoping for a fresh start.

Before arriving to Eswatini, July 2017

Pre-Service Training

During my pre-service training, I lived in a home where we fetched water from an unreliable tap, this made me conscious of how much water I used. I tried to use maybe 5 or 6 liters of water a day for bathing, cooking and consuming but to just wash my hair I needed 5 liters of water. I hated refilling my bucket twice in one day, I went from washing my hair every week to every two weeks. By the second week, it was dire, I could feel the sweat and dust accumulated in my hair.

Washing my hair was a whole days work. Washing it face down in a big basin tub, with no drain and a 5-liter bucket of water on the side, was not ideal. But I had two options, either I figured it out or shaved my head. I knew the latter was my last option; I have a big head so I rely on my hair to level things out. One time I went 2 ½ weeks without washing my hair because the day I was suppose to there was no water, I honestly held back tears that day. But what was I to do but to adjust, I knew managing my hair would be strenuous which is why I packed enough Shea Moisture to last me two years. Having the right hair products definitely lighten the load on my arms. This only went on for 2-3 months, we then moved back to the training camp where we had showers. Even now, I still get that thrill of washing my hair in a shower.

Leslie’s Salon

When I was younger I wanted to work in a salon, I had always enjoyed watching the Dominican women in my life do hair. It’s how I learned to braid & give blowouts but this dream quickly faded once I realized I only like and know how to do my own hair. Even now, there’s something unsettling about paying someone to mess up my hair when I can do it myself for free & paying for a job I can do better.

Although, I have a shower once my hair began to get longer I couldn’t bear the neck and back pain of washing my hair face down every other week. With the ambition of the young girl whose dream was to be a hairstylist, I opted for a haircut by yours truly. With a glass of wine, some music and scissors I found in my first aid kit I began to cut my hair. I didn’t even have a technique, I just kept thinking “I have curly hair so if I mess up it won’t be that noticeable” and of course I got scissor happy and cut a lot more than I should have

My first haircut

Protective styles

After my mom told me my hair looked like a wig I decided I needed my hair to grow and fast. Seeing toddlers with relaxers and grown women with no edges made me skeptical of the Swazi women’s ability to care for hair but they were experts in one thing, protective styles. Never having gotten a protective hairstyle before and let alone in Eswatini, I relied on Deborah a volunteer before me to guide me on which hair brand to buy, how many and most importantly who to go to.

Funny story, right after I got my hair done this man comes in the shop and offers to pay for it which was 200 emalangeni. I was hesitant and politely declined but he insisted, pulling out money and debit cards. I was still this fresh off the plane, paranoid volunteer and after putting an end to his attempts the man says “Don’t block your blessings” and walks away. A saying that has stuck with me ever since and ladies & gents I never blocked another blessing.

Styles

Getting protective styles can easily become out of my budget, E100 ($7) for the hair and E200 ($14) to get it done. So when my funds are low I experiment with styles that can give me a break from consistently having to spend 30minutes on my hair.

Treatment

For treatment, I alternate with these ingredients mayo, avocado, coconut oil, and olive oil. All of which works well for shine and dry hair, I tried bananas once but it’s hard to wash out. I usually watch a movie while I apply the treatment leaving it for about 30-40 minutes with a plastic bag on my head.

Present

My hair got long and fast and once I decide I want to cut my hair there’s no delaying me. I was restless one day at the backpackers and started to give myself a trim. Having cut my hair before I felt like I knew what I was doing but I fucked up. Lol, I chopped too much hair from one side, forgetting about shrinkage and ended up with one side way shorter than the other. I’m not really sure how to fix it, I’ve just been applying castor oil on the short side and wearing up-dos. I’m hoping to let it grow a little before trying to fix it by chopping the other side.

Lmao 🤷🏽‍♀️

Vous l’aurez compris, je suis allée au Swaziland. Je crois, aussi loin que je m’en souvienne, qu’aucun voyage n’avait fait l’objet de tant d’articles; et j’en ai vu des pays. Mais, le Swaziland a été un vrai coup de cœur : la vie, la culture, la nature, les Swazis, tout y est bon tel chez le cochon.

Je n’y ai fait qu’une semaine. Une semaine durant laquelle j’ai capitalisé chaque seconde pour vous, mais surtout pour moi. Cet article, troisième du genre va clore ma série sur ce Royaume d’Afrique et je vous dis en quatre points pourquoi vous devrez ABSOLUMENT vous y rendre.

Ce qu’il faut savoir:

Langues parlées : Swati ou Swazi, Anglais Monnaies : Emalangeni ou Rand Sud-Africain. Le USD que j’avais, ne vous sera d’aucune utilité ici. Si vous en avez, direction la banque. 1 Emalangeni (E) = 13USD à la banque ou 11,9USD Superficie : 17 363 km2 pour 1 million 300 Habitants

Mais commençons déjà par le début, comment vous y rendre:

Si vous partez d’Afrique de l’Ouest/ Si vous êtes Camerounais/ Si vous n’appartenez pas au marché commun COMESA, il vous faudra surement un visa qui coûte moins de 100 Dollars US à moins que votre pays n’est des accords de libre circulation avec le Swaziland. Le Swaziland n’ayant pas de représentation diplomatique en Afrique de l’Ouest, vous serez obligé d’aller chercher votre sésame en Ethiopie. Personnellement, je n’en ai pas eu besoin, mon collègue a géré ça avec l’immigration au Swaziland, et m’a fait parvenir un papier qui attestait que j’aurais mon visa à l’arrivée.

Comptez au moins, 1000 Dollars US pour le billet,

Si vous voyagez par South Africa Airways, vous ferez escale en Johannesburg (Afrique du Sud). En transit, je vous conseille le Protea Hotel qui est de toutes les façons le seul des environs. Le transit pourra durer 12h. Prévoyez au moins 150 Dollars US. Le coût de la chambre dépend de la durée du transit et le coût n’inclut pas de repas.

Découvrez le b.a.ba du Swati

Salut – Sawubona Comment ça va ? – Unjani? Je vais bien. – Ngikhona Au revoir – Sala kahle Bonsoir- Lishonile

Oui- yebo Non – cha S’il te plait – ngiyacela Merci – siyabonga

Une fois sur place, vous apprécierez:

Le paysage: Il est à tomber ! Le Swaziland est un royaume de montagnes et de plaines. Et la spéculation foncière ici n’a pas atteint des sommets, les flancs de montagnes sont pratiquement nus, ce qui vous permet d’admirer un paysage “vierge”, des vues à couper le souffle, des plantations de cannes à sucre à couper le souffle, avec en arrière-plan la montagne; encore et toujours. La végétation est luxuriante, verte et fraîche… Regardez

La CULTURE: un passage incontournable. Le Swaziland est doté d’une culture très riche. Deux manifestations sont les plus importantes dans ce royaume d’Afrique Australe. Il y a l’Incwala, dont je vous parlais ici, et le Reed dance (C’est une cérémonie lors de laquelle, des jeunes femmes vierges dansent topless avec son seul sous-vêtement qu’un cache fait de perles; c’est vous qu’il ne cache RIEN DU TOUT). Sachez que pendant le Reed dance le Roi se réserve le droit de choisir sa future femme. Ps : il a 14 épouses, découvrez les ici

Quand y aller? Pour Incwala, entre décembre et janvier/ Reed dance entre août et septembre.

Les malls: Si vous êtes accros au shopping, this is the place to be. Et de plus, les prix défient toute concurrence. Des soldes, une pléthore d’enseignes; j’ai acheté des habits presque tous les jours pour les enfants, moi, mes proches.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

L’artisanat: Il est riche et divers. Si vous voulez shopper direction Swazi Candles. N’oubliez pas cependant que la monnaie locale tient tête au Dollar, vous risquez de vous retrouver à sec assez vite. lol

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Natural and Happy: Alléluia! C’est ce que je me suis dit quand j’ai vu des femmes coiffées comme moi, avec le cheveu court. Alléluia aussi quand j’ai vu des femmes avec des cheveux NATURELS. De ce que j’ai vu voir, c’est la règle et personne ne vous regarde bizarrement. Ça fait du bien.

Le Swaziland est une monarchie ABSOLUE dotée d’un gouvernement.

Fait TRÈS MARQUANT de mon passage, je n’ai vu nulle part aucun mendiant. Ha oui! J’ai bien un seul homme qui était plus bourré que réel indigent…

Bonne lecture et Bon voyage 😉
