BBC TV ON GRINDING SWAZI POVERTY

Thank you to those of you who responded to my request to the link to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) report from Swaziland’s 40/40 celebrations.


The BBC reports, ‘One of the world's last remaining absolute monarchs, the King of Swaziland has held lavish celebrations to mark his 40th birthday. But the celebrations have provoked protests in the impoverished Kingdom where many people live in chronic poverty. ‘


To see the report, which lasts a little over two minutes, click here.
