Pro-democracy organisations in Eswatini have called on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region not to neglect their plight.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Eswatini led the demonstration outside the Eswatini High Commission in Pretoria on Friday.

They also handed a memorandum of demands, calling the democratic reforms to be expedited in the Kingdom.

They say it’s an uphill to climb but victory is certain.

The demonstration comes as the Kingdom of Eswatini gears up to go to the elections this year.

Meanwhile, an official from the Eswatini High Commission accepted the memorandum of demands and he was not keen to speak to SABC News when requested for an official comment.
