Swaziland's Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Sibusiso Shongwe has called for a new law to further restrict the news media in the kingdom.

He said Members of the Swazi Parliament should create legislation as soon as possible to regulate the media.

He also said that unknown entities were funding the private media in Swaziland to encourage them to discredit the kingdom's courts and Judiciary.

Shongwe was speaking during a debate of his ministry's second quarter budget performance report by the House of Assembly Portfolio Committee on Monday (10 November 2014).
