Other religious groups has slammed this saying it fuels intolerance.

Swazi schools opened for their new year this week with new text books mentioning only the Bible.

Schools are obliged to submit their religious studies syllabi at the start of each term to show they contain no Islam or Judaism .

Criticism has been particularly strong the Muslim community that makes up a tenth of the Kingdom’s 1,2 million population.

They say it will create religious friction in the Kingdom-particuarly in rural areas where they experience discrimination

Swazi authorities say the move is designed too avoid confusing pupils.

Many Swazis combine Christianity with indigenous beliefs, and religious freedoms are written into the country’s 2005 constitution.
