The Swaziland Industrial Court has given the go-ahead for a two-day strike by labour unions, overturning an earlier order that granted the government a last-minute injunction blocking the mass labour protest. According to a report in The Times, Judge Dumsani Mazibuko dismissed the government’s urgent application to ban the strike, ruling in favour of unions that had argued the government failed to demonstrate the urgency of its request. The decision overturned a court order granted in the early hours of Wednesday morning that stopped unions from striking over the kingdom’s moves to slash civil servants’ salaries in an effort to resolve a deepening financial crisis. Mazibuko said unions would be allowed to go ahead with their plans today (Thursday) and tomorrow.
