The role of journalists is to hold government to account as they represent the voiceless masses of our people. 

This landmark ruling by a South African court in favour of Swaziland News sends a loud and clear message that justice does work in other countries. This victory is for all Swaziland citizens that have been denied Justice and some languishing in jail through frivolous charges preferred against them by the Tinkhundla undemocratic regime. 

I encourage the Editor of Swaziland News to continue telling the stories of the suffering masses of our people that live in abject poverty without access to proper medical attention or even a right to speak politics freely without persecution by the state. Long live the spirit of press freedom.
