Africa-Press – Eswatini. In a direct and personal appeal, His Majesty King Mswati III has called on emaSwati to buy tickets for the Royal Signature Mega Raffle, describing it as a simple but powerful way for citizens to help complete the five-star hotel at the International Convention Centre, now known as Ezulwini Palazzo.
Speaking during a gala dinner on April 25, 2026, shortly after officially opening and touring the ICC with visiting dignitaries, the King framed the raffle not just as a game of chance but as a shared national effort.
He revealed that some of the dignitaries who attended the event have already pledged to buy tickets, setting the tone for wider participation.
Dignitaries lead by example
The King said the willingness by high-profile guests to take part shows confidence in Eswatini’s future and belief in the ICC project.
Their response, he suggested, should encourage emaSwati to also come forward and play a role, however small, in building the country.
High-stakes incentive: full prize list
For those taking part, the Royal Signature Mega Raffle offers a life-changing set of prizes valued at about E50 million:
A Rolls-Royce Ghost – a symbol of ultimate luxury
A Lamborghini Urus – combining speed and status
A Mercedes-Maybach – known for elite comfort
A Aston Martin – representing performance and prestige
A luxury jewellery set valued at around E10 million
Each ticket costs E200 000.
More than a raffle
Beyond the prizes, the King made it clear that the real value lies in what the money will achieve.
Funds raised will go directly towards completing the five-star hotel next to the ICC a development expected to create jobs, attract international events, and open new economic opportunities.
A facility built for the future
The ICC complex, now operating as Ezulwini Palazzo, stands as a bold statement of Eswatini’s ambitions.
It includes a modern convention centre with large conference halls, advanced technology, and spaces designed to host global meetings.
The adjoining hotel will offer 299 luxury rooms, including top-tier suites, along with entertainment, retail, and leisure facilities aimed at both international visitors and locals.
Royal signature expo dates
The raffle forms part of the Royal Signature Expo 2026, taking place from April 25 to 27, 2026, where luxury brands, new technologies, and local businesses are being showcased side by side.
The event reflects a broader push to position Eswatini as a destination for high-value trade and investment.
Your money is not lost
In a message that resonated with many, the King reassured emaSwati that even those who will be unfortunate and do not win by they must know their money is not lost.
He stressed that every contribution goes towards building a national asset that will benefit future generations.
A shared responsibility
With dignitaries already stepping forward, the King’s message was clear the success of the project now depends on ordinary emaSwati as well.
Buying a ticket, he suggested, is more than a chance to win — it is a chance to be part of building the country’s future.
