Briefing
In a press briefing held yesterday at the Liberty Life in Manzini, Eswatini

Manager for Liberty Life Dumisani Dlamini.
Dlamini said Liberty was proud to be contributing towards the 2020 Eswatini
National Choral Music Festival.
He highlighted that choral music in Eswatini and the National Choral Music
Festival dated back five decades and had stood the test of time as Eswatini’s
remarkable events and arts.
“Liberty regards music, in particular, a very symbolic form of art, and we are
pleased to take part in further cementing Eswatini as the world’s capital when
it comes to beautiful voices and melodies. Choral Music is liberating by nature,
so this event is home to us as an insurer who believes in liberating people
through financial freedom instilled in our products,” he said.
He further added that they were meeting their group partner Standard Bank,
almost halfway with the sponsorship of E20, 000 towards this choral event that
will impact over 200 000 people on April 5, 2020 at Esibayeni Lodge’s
Esangweni Hall and they were looking forward to making this event memorable.
He urged choral music fanatics to come expectant, as they looked forward to
sharing more about the amazing initiatives they had on the day of the
competition.
Speaking on behalf of the Eswatini National Choral Music Association, Gumbi said
they  appreciatied Liberty Life’s support as this was their first sponsorship
towards a choral music competition. He said he hoped that this relationship
would go a long way and assured them that this partnership would benefit the
choirs a lot.
Gratitude
He also extended his gratitude to Standard Bank for allowing core sponsors to
come on board.
Eswatini National Council of Arts and Culture CEO, Stanley Dlamini said he
appreciated this gesture and he encouraged other entities to jump at this
opportunity to invest in art.
“Choral music is known worldwide with a ready-made audience which companies
can use to market themselves,” he said.
The association now stands at E260 000 worth of sponsorships in monetary value
since Standard Bank, Macmillan and Liberty Life Eswatini made their
contributions.
