Administrator thanked His Majesty King Mswati III for his vision to have an
airport at Sikhuphe, an area under the Lubombo region and pledged that the
people of the region would give it their full support.

prestigious project is completed without any glitches. I am equally happy that
the chiefs in the surrounding areas gave their full support.
“We can only thank the people of Lubombo and government for their commitment
to see to it that the project is the marvel that it is.  The Lubombo region
occupies a special place in the hearts of many.
“Since time immemorial, this region has been identified by the monarchy as
suitable for bringing economic transformation in the kingdom. The sugar
industries, Big Game Parks, and other projects are situated here,” she said.

landed in the Lubombo region.

“History further tells us that the first aircraft to land in Swaziland landed
in this region. I’m confident that with the support of the monarch and
government the Lubombo region will continue to be the torch bearer for economic
development of the Kingdom.
The citizens of this great region stand ready to lend whatever support is needed
to bring about economic prosperity in the kingdom – be it by contributing
pieces of land or providing needed manpower,” she said.
