Swaziland wins loans to pay salaries

MBABANE — Cash-strapped Swaziland has pulled together enough loans from local banks and private businesses to pay government workers on time this month, a spokesman said Tuesday.

The announcement came after emergency to raise the 350 million emalangeni ($43 million, 32 million euros) reportedly needed to pay civil servants.

Government workers had threatened to launch new protests in Africa's last absolute monarchy following an announcement Friday that paychecks would be delayed by two weeks.

"Civil servants will be paid. We needed the money fast and it has been found from the domestic market," government spokesman Percy Simelane told AFP.

Simelane said a "host of companies," including banks, was involved, but declined to name them.

"We are processing salaries as we speak," he added.

The government declined to divulge the details of the loans, including the interest rate. It was unclear how salaries would be financed for next month.

"We will cross that bridge when we come to it," Simelane said.

Swaziland's commercial banks had twice turned the government down for loans earlier this year.

Borrowing domestically is one of Swaziland's only remaining options given its deepening fiscal crisis.

The kingdom had been drawing down its foreign reserves to keep the country running but the central bank stopped after the International Monetary Fund warned in August that the Swazi currency peg to South Africa's rand was at risk.

Swaziland is grappling with a severe financial crisis after a sudden loss in earnings last year from a regional customs union, its main source of income.

The loss was caused by a change in the way customs money is distributed around the region -- a change that was long planned but for which Swaziland failed to budget.

Spending has been running at double the level of revenue collection for the past year.

The government wants to slash civil servants' salaries by 10 percent, which unions have flatly rejected, pointing to the lavish lifestyle of King Mswati III, who has separate palaces for each of his 13 wives.

How many times have you found yourself struggling to pay bills or make ends meet at the end of the month? There are lots of methods out there to make fast cash, why not try one of these instead of stressing out:

Run Errands – Many people in today’s fast-paced world don’t have enough time in the day to get things done. Why not offer your services for a fee? Pick up groceries, drop off and pickup dry cleaning, make phone calls, set appointments, schedule meals, mow lawns, walk your neighbor’s dog – there are so many things that come to mind. Sit down one day, make a list and place checks next to each service you know you can do and what you will charge. Check out your local classifieds to see if anyone else is doing the same and call to compare prices.

Sell Your Stuff – Everyone has extra “stuff” in their home or apartment. Clean out your closets and garage, empty out your car trunk, go through your basement and attic, and gather everything in one place to inventory what you can sell. List your stuff on Ebay.com, Craigslist.com, or even place a classified ad. Offer discounts to people who purchase multiple items and, as always, cash is king.

Start A Newsletter – Maybe you could organize and write a newsletter for a local organization. Many non-profits and smaller organizations don’t have the manpower to create and manage a newsletter. Offer to do it for a small fee and your fast cash will turn into residual income. You may even find a new career.

Use Your Expertise – Do friends describe you as an expert in any area? Put your expertise to work for a fee. Maybe it’s something with computers. Many seniors would gladly pay a fee for someone to help them set up their emails, Internet, or other computer related services. Whatever your expertise, put together a marketing plan to get the word out and watch as your monthly income starts to rise.
