Christopher Fakudze is an Agricultural Economist from Swaziland, specialising in rural development (socio-economics of rural livelihoods, political economics, planning, management, trade and new institutional economics). He has served in several spheres including government (as plannig officer)and the university of Swaziland (as lecturer). Fakudze is also an independent economic commentator for national and international media houses. He is famous for having called for 'a complete overhaul of the swaziland economy' early 2011, which ironically transfigured into a political misnoma in his country experienced in two folds of strikes. He is otherwise a die-faithful of a people driven economic process and has appeared in many news bulletins including radio, television and print media calling for emancipation of the populace from heavy grips of poverty in Swaziland, having skinned 69% of the nation. Fakudze has also made international appearances such as the Malaysia Technical Cooperation Programme (MTCP) where he had a comprehensive training & presented keynote papers on poverty alleviation in Kuala Lumpur, shortly after he had acquired a MSc. Degree from the University of London, UK in 2006. Christopher Fakudze is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Rural Development with the university of Pretoria.

In terms of political feelings and opinion, Fakudze is convinced that Swaziland has so far the best & unique democratic process, realised at grassroot levels where the member of parliament is elected by an inkhundla constituency and have chance to meet him/her for pertinent issues of concern. He is not convinced that any other system would have done any better than it is now. He, however doesn't rule out a possibility for modification of the system to best meet the aspirations of the people to whom it is intended. He does not associate with political noise, he believes that as a professional in a defined line of discipline, he would better concentrate on how best to assist the nation in growing its economy. However, he naturally supports Okandaba andfears God in all he does.
