Deputy Prime Minister Albert Shabangu of Swaziland

Shabangu said that the elderly have little money or resources to return to parenting.

Shabangu was fined US$116,000, an extraordinarily high fine.

The court ruled that an article written by the late Times Sunday editor Vusi Ginindza four years ago implying that Shabangu was a member of the Ngwane Liberator Congress (NNLC) was defamatory.
