Prime Minister Russell Dlamini received the delegation on behalf of the Government of Eswatini, and the visitors have since held meetings with several cabinet ministers including HRH Prince Lonkhokhela, the Minister of Health, the Minister of Economic Planning and Development, the Minister of Tinkhundla and the Minister of Finance.

A key focus of the mission is Eswatini’s partnership with World Vision, which has been central to the country’s efforts to expand sustainable WASH services across its communities.

Moleko and his delegation will join HRH Prince Lonkhokhela on Friday for the official commissioning of the Bulekeni Water Project, which will take place at the Ekuphileni Primary School Sports Ground under Zombodze Inkhundla.
