Inyatsi Construction has addressed circulating misinformation linking the company to a collapsed road near Nhlangano, emphatically denying responsibility for the affected section.
In a statement, the company clarified that the damaged portion was neither constructed nor maintained by Inyatsi, highlighting that their recent project in the area was completed 200 metres away from the collapse site.
Ncobile Dlamini, Public Relations and Marketing Manager at Inyatsi Group Holdings, issued a detailed statement:

“We would like to address the false claims circulating regarding the road damage in the attached images and the association of Inyatsi Construction with this unfortunate event.
The specific section of the road/bridge that has collapsed was neither constructed nor maintained by Inyatsi Construction. Our most recent project in the vicinity concluded 200 meters away from this site.
The damaged structure is part of an older road, built by other parties, and is not part of our work.”
Dlamini further emphasized Inyatsi’s commitment to delivering high-quality, durable infrastructure, adding, “We remain committed to upholding our reputation as Eswatini’s leading construction company and ensuring that our projects stand the test of time.
We encourage the public to verify facts before making conclusions and to reach out to us directly for accurate information.”
Inyatsi Construction is renowned for its elegant roads and structures and recently the company completed the 42-kilometer Gege-Sicunusa road at a cost of over E640 million.
The road was officially inaugurated by His Majesty King Mswati III, who lauded Inyatsi’s craftsmanship and acknowledged their role in advancing Eswatini toward achieving first-world status.

The misinformation sparked a debate on social media, with users defending Inyatsi’s professionalism and reputation.
On Facebook, K Vutsela Ekasi commented, “Inyatsi is a professional company that brings feedback to society. Thank you for the update.”
Another user, Fellaz Montana, criticized some media platforms, stating, “The problem with other media platforms is they politicize everything without even verifying the truth.”
