The parties said they believed the relationship between the king and Swazi society had broken down.
They added that they believed the regional bloc, Sadc, could do better by being an independent mediator as opposed to a distant observer.
“The Sadc intervention effort is indecisive and instead of breaking the political impasse, it emboldened the king as state security apparatus to continue the mass abuse of power and violence. It was setting our country on a path of civil war and not peace. Swaziland needs an urgently mediated process and the validation of the king’s preferred platform,” the statement read.
