Africa-Press – Eswatini. In the rolling hills and green valleys of Shiselweni, something extraordinary is unfolding — a quiet revolution not marked by noise or fanfare, but by the steady hum of progress. Roads, bridges, and crossings are no longer just paths over rivers or tracks through fields; they are now symbols of hope, connection, and a brighter.
Under the visionary leadership of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, several transformative projects are reshaping the Shiselweni landscape. These aren’t just civil works — they are promises kept, dreams delivered, and futures made brighter for thousands of emaSwati.
At Ndabazezwe, where seasonal rains once cut communities off from each other, an elevated low-level crossing now stands tall. Built to withstand unpredictable weather, it has become a lifeline, ensuring families stay connected and livelihoods continue uninterrupted.
A few kilometers away, at Mkhwakhweni, construction crews are putting the finishing touches on a new low-level crossing, complete with freshly re-graveled critical spots. Soon, farmers, schoolchildren, and local traders will travel with greater ease, turning everyday journeys into safe, smooth rides.
The Mzinsangu Low-Level Crossing, gracefully spanning the Mkhokhoba River, now links the Mshololo and Mzinsangu communities. For the children of Ndzungunye Primary School, this means safer walks to class; for local businesses, it means better access to markets and opportunities.
Perhaps most striking is the Mantambe Pier Bridge, connecting Mantambe and Manyandzeni with essential public amenities — a primary school, a health facility, and the countless social ties that bind a thriving community.
Minister of Public Works and Transport, speaking with warmth and determination, noted: “These projects are not just about cement and steel; they are about the people. We are building for mothers and fathers, for children walking to school, for elders seeking healthcare, and for entrepreneurs chasing their dreams. We are building a more connected Eswatini.”
Indeed, these projects reflect a national spirit of resilience, unity, and forward-thinking. They open up rural areas to economic growth, improve access to education and healthcare, and strengthen the bonds between communities.
As the sun sets over the newly built crossings, it lights up more than just the roads — it illuminates the spirit of a nation on the move, determined to build a future where no one is left behind.
With every completed bridge and every upgraded crossing, Shiselweni is not just changing its landscape — it’s redefining what’s possible. And Eswatini, as a whole, is stepping boldly into a future paved with progress, inclusion, and hope.
