AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Parliament & Banking: MPs want government to explore using EswatiniBank to manage certain public funds—payments for subscriptions, suppliers and SACU receipts—while keeping the Central Bank of Eswatini as the main banker, as part of a possible recapitalisation push after the bank said it needs about E300 million. Governance Probe: Prime Minister Russell Dlamini has appointed a five-member commission of inquiry to investigate the Eswatini Christian Medical University (EMCU), including allegations of financial and operational maladministration, fraud and governance failures. Royal Palace & Citizenship: King Mswati III granted Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo Eswatini citizenship and a diplomatic passport after a private audience, with Chivayo citing plans for travel and investment. Public Finance Pressure: Finance Minister Neal Rijkenberg says government faces a E4.5 billion funding gap and is seeking additional borrowing to meet obligations and pay suppliers. GBV Update: Police reported 1,994 gender-based violence cases and 22 related deaths in the first three months of 2026, with many victims killed by people they trusted. Regional Diplomacy: King Mswati III urged stronger Eswatini–Zambia cooperation on trade, culture and security. Immigration Enforcement: South Africa-linked deportation plans continue as Eswatini prepares for the first group of convicted foreign nationals to leave, pending transit visas.
