Swaziland News
Online newspaper published from South Africa by exiled journalist Zweli Martin Dlamini, sharply critical of Eswatini's absolute monarchy. Banned at home — authorities designated the outlet and its editor terrorist entities in 2022 — it reports on pro-democracy protests, security-force abuses and royal finances, and is one of the most prominent independent voices covering the kingdom.

Is Swaziland News left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists Swaziland News as Center within Eswatini's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side.
Read Swaziland News beside another title from Eswatini and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Digital-native outlets reorder their front pages continuously in response to reader behaviour, so Swaziland News may look different an hour from now — reload it alongside a print-cycle title and you can see which stories have staying power and which are traffic spikes. Because Swaziland News is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Eswatini title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
