The article definitely needs rewriting. The initial statement that Swaziland is one of the poorest countries in Africa is false, as brief consideration of the per capita GDP indicates, along with other matters such as the country's close integration with the South African economy, strong road system etc. Ngwe 03:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Agree it needs some serious rewriting. According to the CIA figures, population growth is negative (the article mentions the high growth rate as a challenge). Most people in Swaziland are extremely poor though, but the GDP per capita figures don't reflect this, as the wealth distribution is so skewed (gini coefficient ranked 121 of 126 countries).
