A high court hearing to restore the internet to eSwatini has been delayed.

The eSwatini government asked for more time on Friday to study the legal documents, a spokesperson confirmed, but could not comment further on the matter.

The delay could continue eSwatini's information blackout, said Thuli Makama, a lawyer with the Institute for Democracy and Leadership (Ideal). The move by the eSwatini government could delay the blackout by at least seven days, said added.
