Africa-Press – Eswatini. His Excellency Hakainde Hichilema has this morning arrived in the Kingdom of Eswatini to join His Majesty King Mswati III in commemorating the landmark 40-year reign and 58th birthday celebrations.
The Zambian leader’s arrival displays the growing spirit of regional solidarity and the deep-rooted diplomatic ties between Eswatini and Zambia. In a message of goodwill, President Hichilema expressed profound admiration for His Majesty’s enduring leadership, highlighting the King’s role in fostering unity, stability, and cultural pride over four decades.
The double celebration, a moment of national pride, has drawn distinguished leaders and royalty from across the region and beyond, positioning Eswatini as a focal point of unity and shared heritage.
This follows a significant milestone achieved yesterday, when His Majesty officially opened the state-of-the-art International Convention Centre (ICC) in Ezulwini—an iconic development set to elevate the country’s status as a premier destination for international conferences and events.
The grand opening ceremony was attended by a high-profile delegation of leaders, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, former President Jacob Zuma, King Letsie III of Lesotho, former Botswana President Ian Khama, and King Misuzulu kaZwelithini of the Zulu Nation. Also present was Taiwan’s Foreign Minister, further reflecting Eswatini’s strong international partnerships.
The presence of these dignitaries signals confidence in Eswatini’s development trajectory and recognition of His Majesty’s visionary leadership.
As celebrations continue, the Kingdom stands united in honouring a reign marked by cultural preservation, national development, and international cooperation, an inspiring legacy that continues to shape the nation’s future. Today, all roads leads to Ludzidzini Royal Residence where there will be a cultural show.
