The Communist Party of Swaziland is a Marxist-Leninist communist party in Eswatini established in 2011.

The party has obtained considerable success in the communities it has directed political action. Since 2021, the CPS has launched a political campaign "Democracy Now" urging the end of monarchy in Eswatini, which gained traction after another campaign launched in October, 2021.[1]

Repression

Since then, CPS has suffered constant repression by the police forces of King Mswati III, including kidnapping and beating of members.[2] On 25 June 2022, Mswati's forces opened fire on a CPS rally at Mahwalala.[3]
