Extractions: The Book Chain in Swaziland By Makana Mavuso In 1968, just a month before the country attained its independence, the Proscribed Publications Act (No. 17 of 1968) was enacted. This empowered the Minister of Public Service and Information to proscribe any publication by notice published in the Gazette 'if the publication is prejudicial or potentially prejudicial to the interest of defence, public safety, public order, public morality or public health'. The Swaziland National Archives University of Swaziland Library and Swaziland National Library. It is worth noting that, although the Swaziland National Library Service has been in operation for a number of years, it was only in 2001 that a Bill (No. 11 of 2001) was introduced to establish this service. Literacy, languages, writers and writing Two main languages serve as official languages in the country: English and Siswati. These are used throughout the education system, and in any materials published, e.g. newspapers and books. In recent years, very few Swazi nationals have been engaged in writing, for it does not appeal as an occupation or as a serious source of income. The only area that has a number of writers is in the production of learning materials e.g. textbooks for schools. Prior to the country's independence, schools were using textbooks written and published in South Africa and other countries. It was realized that such material was not always relevant to Swazi children and that even the schools' curricula needed to be improved. The National Curriculum Centre (NCC) was then established to perform the following tasks, among others:

Extractions: Inter Press Service MBABANE, 10 March (IPS) - Troubled by an unemployment rate of 45 percent and devastated by a high HIV infection rate of at least 25 percent, Swaziland has decided its salvation lies in the educational advancement of its people. ''Only through learning will we know the ways to protect ourselves in an epidemic,'' says health worker Thandi Mabusa, while former education minister Solomon Dlamini believes, people armed with the basic tools of entrepreneurship will be able to find jobs, and create their own livelihoods. ''Empirical evidence shows that the quality of life for a people has a very strong correlation to their level of education,'' said Finance Minister John Carmichael when he presented to Parliament a 2000 budget that assigns a record 28 percent of government expenditures to the education sector. The government's Economic and Social Reform Agenda, launched last September to much fanfare, noted the link between a rising standard of living the majority of Swazis are poor and the level of people's education.

Swaziland Time and Date Swaziland Economy Back to Top Swazilands labor force is split between two dominant sectors, agriculture and services. Some 39 percent of its workforce engaged in crop or livestock production, while another 38 percent hold service jobs. The country's economy is tied to that of South Africa through trade and currency links, and can rise or fall depending on the fortunes of its large neighbor. Gross domestic product in 1999 was $1.2 billion, or an average of $1,200 per person. About three-quarters of the population live on Swazi national land, most cultivating staple crops of maize or herding livestock. The country's most productive farmland, however, are the tracts in private hands, which produce about 75 percent of the country's exports. Chief cash crops are sugarcane grown on irrigated land, cotton, citrus fruits, and pineapples. Livestock includes 665,000 cattle and 440,000 goats. Swaziland also has an important forestry industry.
