Most Emaswati feel free to choose whom to vote into office but not free to say what they think, the latest Afrobarometer survey shows.

A majority of citizens say they have to be careful when discussing politics.

Likewise, only a minority of citizens think the country’s media is free to report and comment on current affairs without censorship or interference by the government.
