AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoFestival Build-Up: MTN Bushfire Festival grounds at House On Fire are coming alive fast, with crews racing to finish the camping areas, main stage, global food village and barn marketplace ahead of Thursday’s opening—plus wristbands for police, fire and emergency teams, charging stations for thousands, and brand stalls from Eswatini Beverages (Corona and Sibebe). Energy Finance Debate: Eswatini has signed a $300m Taiwan deal to build the Phuzumoya Strategic Oil Reserve (80 million litres of petrol and diesel), but the move lands amid deep poverty and high unemployment—raising the big question: can the country afford it, and can it afford not to? Diplomacy & Labour Links: Taiwan says it’s still assessing whether to recruit Eswatini workers, while focusing on upgrading vocational training centres; meanwhile, growing scrutiny continues around Taiwan–Eswatini ties. Tech & Skills Spotlight: A local robotics team won a national award in Texas, adding momentum to STEM training efforts.
