AGP Executive Report

Last update: 25 minutes ago

Electricity Tariffs & Regulation: Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC) says it can legally apply for tariff reviews every two years, and the Natural Resources and Energy Minister Prince Lonkhokhela insists the utility is within its rights to seek another adjustment before year-end; EEC also warned any application does not automatically mean higher bills, as ESERA will decide what can be recovered. Food Imports & Levies: NAMBoard will enforce a 24% levy on imported edible oils from September 1, saying it’s the minimum rate under existing law to close compliance gaps and protect local production. Trade Policy: India and SACU signed Terms of Reference to restart talks on a Preferential Trade Agreement, aiming to conclude negotiations within a year and focusing first on “low-hanging fruits,” with Eswatini among the SACU members. Government Performance: The Prime Minister presented a Government Performance Report showing overall implementation improved to 48% in 2025/26, up from 22% in the first quarter, though still below Nkwe Programme targets. Public Safety & Welfare: After a severe cold front, government relocated 114 street children and vulnerable people to temporary shelters, with food and warm clothing supplied while assessments continue. Legal/Justice Signals: The Prime Minister told journalists police must be left to do their job without political interference amid illegal gambling arrests. Health Oversight: Government ordered regulators to investigate allegations against The Luke Commission raised by former employees, including labour and clinical practice concerns.
