These initiatives are designed to uplift the local community, directly benefiting approximately 1,150 residents. The development portfolio showcased during the Prime Minister’s visit includes significant infrastructure upgrades such as the enhancement of the Moyeni-Stekstroom and Mpholi roads.
These road improvements are expected to facilitate smoother transportation and better connectivity within the region, fostering economic activity and access to essential services.

The Prime Minister expressed sincere gratitude for the successful completion of these projects and commended the Manzini North constituency for the visible progress achieved through Government-led initiatives.
He emphasised the importance of community ownership, urging residents to take pride in the new facilities and to ensure their preservation and maintenance for future generations.
Reflecting on the vision articulated by His Majesty King Mswati III, the Prime Minister recalled the monarch’s call for inclusive development that reaches all emaSwati, regardless of whether they reside in urban or rural areas.
He noted that His Majesty’s directive through Nkwe, a national development framework, continues to serve as a guiding principle for the Government’s efforts to promote equitable and sustainable growth across Eswatini.
“The purpose of today’s visit is to assess the progress of projects, identify areas where we may have fallen short, and make the necessary improvements so that development and assistance truly reach the people,” Prime Minister Dlamini stated.
This hands-on approach underscores the Government’s dedication to transparency and accountability in public service delivery.
The PM’s tour also provided an opportunity to engage with local stakeholders, gather feedback, and reinforce the Government’s commitment to addressing community needs.
The projects, which span infrastructure, social amenities, and community development, are positioned as foundational pillars for long-term socio-economic advancement in Manzini North.
Concluding his visit, Prime Minister Dlamini expressed his delight at witnessing the tangible outcomes of Government programmes, describing the completed projects as a robust platform for sustainable growth and improved livelihoods.
He reaffirmed the Government’s resolve to continue investing in initiatives that empower communities and foster inclusive development throughout Eswatini.
This concerted effort reflects a broader national strategy aimed at bridging development gaps and enhancing the quality of life for all citizens.
The Manzini North projects exemplify how targeted investments in infrastructure and community facilities can drive meaningful change, setting a precedent for other constituencies to emulate.
