AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

FDI & Manufacturing Jobs: Eswatini Quantum Works (Pty) Ltd is set to build a E600m+ factory at the Royal Science and Technology Park in Nokwane under the Special Economic Zone programme, producing aluminium and copper cables for export and creating about 200 jobs in the initial phase. Sugar Industry Rescue: Tongaat Hulett has escaped liquidation after a deal involving business rescue practitioners, the IDC and Vision Group, with the state converting R2.5bn into equity and extending support—aimed at protecting thousands of jobs across the cane value chain, including in Eswatini. Trade & Food Security (Livestock Exports): Eswatini’s agriculture ministry says the country is in the declining phase of foot-and-mouth disease and could resume meat exports within six months, targeting pathways that include “free with vaccination certification” and “free without vaccination certification.” Creative & Local Industry Push: NACA’s new chair, KrTC Sibandze, says the awards will shift from just recognising talent to developing artists, with categories expanded to 55 under the theme “From Recognition to Development.” Digital & Fraud Risk: TransUnion reports suspected digital fraud in Namibia (including eSwatini) remains below global averages, but scam-based tactics still cause meaningful losses—an issue for regional consumers and businesses. Tourism & Services Boost: eSwatini’s MTN Bushfire festival drove higher arrivals and hotel occupancy, with 50,403 arrivals over the weekend and occupancy reaching above 80% in key towns.
