The King was with,among others, his son, Prince Sicalo, the Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Defense and Security when the drone manufacturers made the presentation.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that the drones might be used in monitoring and spying political activists who are demanding democratic reforms, Taiwan is allegedly funding military operations against innocent civilians.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, eSwatini Government online platforms reported that expressing the desire to enter into a joint venture with a Swazi company was Chairman Dr Zheng-Fang Luo who met the King in Taiwan and made a presentation.<\/p>\n
