Invitation:  Launch of the Swazi Diaspora Platform
 
 
The interim committee would like to invite all Swazis living outside Swaziland 
to the formal launch of The Swazi Diaspora Platform (SDP).   The SDP was born 
of the genuine desire to respond to issues in Swaziland as a means to assist 
development by all Swazis based outside Swaziland.  The aim is to have a space 
for reflection, engagement and open dialogue about the situation in Swaziland 
at all times. The SDP shall coordinate efforts by Swazis in the Diaspora and 
others who would appreciate to share ideas relating to the grave situation in 
Swaziland and what needs to be done, including defining specific roles that can 
be assumed by the Diaspora community.
 
The launch theme is “The Role of the Diaspora and how it relates to other Human 
Rights and Political Organisations – Comparative International Experiences,” 
will take place as follows:
Date:              08 October 2011
Venue:           Torque House , 5 Mellis avenue, Mellis Park, Rivonia.
Time:                         09h00
Speaker:       Prof Shadrack Gutto
 
 
Professor Shadrack Gutto – Is an international renowned scholar, analyst, 
writer, consultant and activist on Law, Human Rights and African Development.  
He is currently based at University of South Africa (UNISA) Centre for African 
Renaissance Studies.  Importantly, he has extensive experience with assisting 
many Diaspora forums, including the Kenyan Diaspora, which is his home country.
The main agenda for the day is the election of office bearers into the Swazi 
Diaspora Platform.  So if you are or know a Swazi who is passionate about 
getting Swazis together to discuss issues and the role the diaspora can play in 
response to the current crisis in Swaziland, please attend and be available for 
election into office.
Also very important is that the principles and objectives of the Diaspora will 
be presented for discussion and adoption.
