Last update: 3 hours ago

Regional Liberation Memory: Eswatini’s role in South Africa’s June 16 uprising was highlighted at the KwaMagogo Number 43 Trelawney Park Legacy event, with Regional Administrator Themba Masuku recalling how Swazi transit camps and a national airline helped shelter and move young refugees fleeing apartheid. Zimbabwe–Eswatini Diplomacy: Zimbabwe mourns Ambassador Victor Matemadanda, accredited to Mozambique and Eswatini, who died aged 66; officials cite illness but have not disclosed a cause, while unverified claims of suspected poisoning are circulating. Regional Security Diplomacy: Malawi’s Vice President Enoch Chihana has been delegated to chair a virtual SADC Extraordinary Organ Troika Summit on peace and security, with Eswatini set as incoming chair. Domestic Finance & Oversight: Finance Minister Neal Rijkenberg told MPs the ERS E18bn domestic tax target is “unattainable,” blaming tougher global conditions. Parliament & Banking: MPs want government to explore using EswatiniBank to manage certain funds, alongside a recapitalisation push for the bank. Migration Pressure: State security officers are reportedly arresting foreigners at the Eswatini–South Africa border ahead of South Africa’s June 30 “March and March” protests. Controversial Citizenship: King Mswati III granted Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo Eswatini citizenship and a diplomatic passport, sparking renewed debate over influence and privileges. Health Governance: PM Russell Dlamini appointed a commission of inquiry into Eswatini Christian Medical University (EMCU) over allegations of financial and operational misconduct.
