Desperate Measures explores the social ills encountered by the people of Swaziland and how it impacts on the workforce. It depicts the plight of the people of the Kingdom where the deep-rooted challenge emanates from the remuneration that is incommensurate with their toil. It portrays the suffocation of the workforce that spills onto their dependants through the ever-diminishing wage, and how it drives them to desperation and frustration which forces them to make huge and unthinkable sacrifices as means for survival.
