Honour

“I love this country and it is a great honour to meet you honourable Minister. I discovered the Eswatini culture in 2017 during a fashion week in Pretoria. It is a good thing for our countries to have formal relations in terms of cultural exchanges,” Angama said.
Making his own remarks, Minister Bulunga thanked Angama for visiting Eswatini.

“We welcome you to our country. Your visit is very important because as a country we value partnerships and we want to form many of these especially with African countries. It is always good to share our cultures so that they get preserved.

“We also appreciate the platforms you have already provided to some of our artists and we are looking forward to working with you in many other programmes,” Bulunga said.

The meeting was also attended by Director of Arts and Culture in the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs, Phinda Nkosi.
