Africa-Press – Eswatini. Business Eswatini has hailed 2025 as a year of remarkable progress, unity, and transformative economic milestones — reaffirming the private sector’s critical role in shaping the Kingdom’s development journey. In its year-end reflection, the organisation highlights how collaboration, innovation, and strong stakeholder partnerships have strengthened economic resilience and paved the way for a more prosperous future for all emaSwati.
At the heart of this year’s achievements is Business Eswatini’s mission to make the country a seamless place to do business. Through strategic reforms, infrastructure advocacy, and trade facilitation initiatives, the organisation reports major strides in improving efficiency across key economic corridors — including progress toward transforming the Oshoek–Ngwenya border into a Juxtaposed One-Stop Border Post, a development expected to fast-track cargo movement and boost regional competitiveness.
The organisation also championed forward-looking initiatives in energy and sustainability, launching the Developer’s Guide for the Solar PV Embedded Generation Market and conducting a comprehensive ESG landscape assessment. These interventions are equipping businesses to embrace cleaner production, energy independence, and responsible investment practices — positioning Eswatini as a regional leader in sustainable enterprise growth.
In Parliament, Business Eswatini continued its watchdog role, making expert submissions on 13 key bills to ensure economic policy remains inclusive, pro-growth, and responsive to private sector realities. Central to its labour advocacy has been the effort to protect thousands of jobs through campaigns around Section 129 of the Employment Bill, backed by data-driven research on triangular employment and its economic implications.
Beyond policy influence, 2025 also marked a proud international milestone, as Eswatini was removed from the ILO CAS long list — a development Business Eswatini describes as a global win that strengthens investor confidence and enhances labour stability. The organisation further championed workplace wellness and social harmony through the signing of a historic MoU with TUCOSWA, along with the rollout of national wellness and safety initiatives promoting dignity and wellbeing across workplaces.
Business Eswatini credits these achievements to the resilience of its members — from small entrepreneurs to major industries — whose innovation and perseverance continue to drive national progress. As the organisation looks ahead to 2026, it pledges to deepen its commitment to ethical growth, stability, and shared prosperity for all citizens of Eswatini.
