Breast Cancer has developed to be a grave concern in the kingdom of Swaziland . From the time it was discovered the numbers of women diagnosed with this disease have been increasing. Breast cancer is the second commonest killer of women, globally, after cancer of the cervix, (lung cancer in the west). And it is quickly rising to be the top killer cancer in Africa. Every year doctors around the world diagnose nearly one million new cases of breast cancer.

It has been suggested in many quarters that Swazi journalism has transformed over the years; that it is slowly holding its own against other well established professions. One of the reasons suggested for this growth has been the formalisation of journalism training, the regulation of the industry, among other initiatives, which has brought some respect for the discipline. There have also been attempts by media houses, especially editors, to recruit qualified reporters and writers. This move seeks to break the old tradition of filling newsrooms with high school leavers, many of whom struggled to express themselves.
