MANZINI - His Majesty King Mswati III has officially opened the E150 million
Matsapha and Manzini Lifestyle Centres.
The King began at the Matsapha Lifestyle Centre, located near the Lusushwana
River at Mahhala. After opening the shopping complex, owned by the Mansoor
Group, the King toured the businesses. Next, he visited the Manzini Lifestyle
Centre, which he also officially opened, before touring the shopping complex.
During the tours, the King commended the Mansoor Group for their investment in
state-of-the-art buildings.
Encouraged
He encouraged the group to invest more as the country works towards eradicating
poverty and unemployment. Meanwhile, Matsapha Town Council Public Relations
Officer (PRO) Sihle Sihlongonyane said Matsapha is known as the Kingdom’s
investment hub. They were pleased to witness the opening of new shopping
complexes, factories and processing plants.
“This will greatly contribute to the economy of the town and the country at
large,” the PRO said. He added that they believed that through such
developments, more job opportunities would be available for emaSwati to earn a
living. Sihlongonyane said they were also grateful to Their Majesties and
government, for inviting investors to invest in the town of Matsapha.
It is worth noting that last week, the King toured and officially opened the
upgraded Eswatini Meat Industries (Embiveni) and Infracast in Matsapha,
companies owned by Inyatsi Group Holdings. Additionally, the King toured the
Eswatini Oil Mill in Matsapha, which has the capacity to create over 100 000 job
opportunities for emaSwati, who could venture into farming and supply the
establishment with soybeans.
