Africa-Press – Eswatini. Acting Government Spokesperson Thabile Mdluli has declared that Eswatini stands at the edge of a new era, one defined by unity, vision, and an unshakable commitment to transformation.
At the heart of this bold future lies the Grand Plan for National Transformation, a blueprint inspired by His Majesty King Mswati III’s vision of Eswatini as a developed nation.
Far from being an abstract ambition, the Plan springs from the people themselves, crystallized during the 2023 Sibaya People’s Parliament, where citizens voiced concerns over service delivery, corruption, unemployment, poverty, and healthcare challenges.
A Plan Rooted in the People
Unlike many policy frameworks that emerge from boardrooms, the Grand Plan draws its strength from the voices of emaSwati. Mdluli emphasized that this is not the dream of one individual, but rather a national consensus that reflects both the hopes and frustrations of citizens.
The Plan envisions a nation with a thriving economy capable of sustaining its own budget and delivering essential services such as healthcare, education, and food security. Good governance and patriotism, Mdluli noted, will be the cornerstones of this transformation.
“We need a mindset of selflessness, one that says let me give to my country rather than take from my country,” she declared.
Youth at the Helm of Change
One of the most striking aspects of the Grand Plan is the team behind it: young emaSwati professionals, including those with international experience who have helped shape similar strategies abroad. Their expertise and energy have already impressed stakeholders, who regard them as the best possible team to translate His Majesty’s vision into reality.
This infusion of youthful dynamism signals a generational shift, a recognition that the future must be built by those who will inherit it.
A Call for Unity and Patriotism
Mdluli’s statement carried a powerful appeal: for every liSwati to rally behind the King’s vision. She cautioned against attempts to reduce the Grand Plan to individual credit, calling such efforts “disingenuous” and contrary to national progress. Instead, she urged collective patriotism, where all citizens play their role in igniting wealth and wellbeing for the Kingdom.
Standing on the Edge of a New Era
“Eswatini stands on the edge of an era,” Mdluli declared, reminding the nation that Monarchical Democracy has already delivered stability and economic growth. With the Grand Plan as a compass, the Kingdom now looks toward a future defined not by limitations but by possibilities.
As the draft undergoes final consultations before being tabled before Cabinet and ultimately His Majesty, one message is clear: Eswatini’s future will not be shaped by one person, but by an entire nation determined to rise together.
