1104014mg 11 04 14 14 Apr 2011 Mail & Guardian Two Baffons singing their chant " Dubul' iBhunu" and "Shoot to kill" Rights group AfriForum has accused Julius Malema of hate speech after his repeated singing of a controversial struggle song "Dubul' iBhunu - Shoot the Boer" at events all over the country during March 2010. The rights group alleges that the song is the cause for high-murder rate of farmers.

When Bheki Cele became Commissioner of Police, he wanted the police to have the freedom to "Shoot to Kill" first and ask questions afterwards. The "Shoot to Kill" doctrine has now led to 860 deaths with 470 shot in lost year.

The question the acrtoon raises is which chant should be proscecuted?

110414tt 11 04 14 14 Apr 2011 The Times Swaziland: King Mswati - the last absolute monarchy on earth King Mswati of Swaziland is Africa's last absolute monarch. While behaving without a conscience, his people demand democracy. He insists on banning all opposition to his rule and his outdated way of life. He is totally out of touch. His priorities are on luxury limousines, rather than trying to help his people. Police detained groups of people including journalists, union members and members of political parties, in the anti-monarchy protests held on the 12th April. These protests come exactly 38 years after King Sobhuza II, father of Mswati banned political parties and abandoned the country's constitution.

Appointed by the African Union, Jacob Zuma has been "mediating" in Africa's two trouble spots ruled by despots namely Ivory Coast and Libya. His position has been one of fence-sitting.

With grass-root's pressure growing on a third despot, King Mswati III of Swaziland, Zuma, the mediator cannot afford to sit on the fence this time. Fearing that he will be toppled in an uprising planned for the 12th April, King Mswati approached the Hawks to spy on the South African-based Swaziland Solidarity Network (SSN) – one of the organisers of the uprising – but the Hawks said it was none of its business.
