Africa-Press – Eswatini. Chief Prince Kekela was officially sworn in as a Senator today, following his recent appointment by His Majesty King Mswati III.
The swearing-in ceremony took place in the Senate chamber, amidst a gathering of fellow Senators and dignitaries, marking a new era in the legislative assembly.
The Senate, which originally comprised 40 members when Parliament was opened, has been reduced to this number after the passing of Chief Gcokoma.

Chief Kekela, known for his commitment to public service and community development, expressed his gratitude to the King for the trust bestowed upon him.
In his inaugural speech, he emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among Senators, urging them to work diligently towards the betterment of the nation.
“I am honoured to serve my people and contribute to the legislative process,” Chief Kekela remarked.
