Readers of the Times of Swaziland group are boycotting buying the newspapers and they are encouraging advertisers to pull out.
They are dismayed that the newspaper group failed to apologise after the Times Sunday published an article that said battered women were 'bitches' and that 'most' women who were beaten up by men brought it upon themselves.
