MANZINI – Swaziland National Association of Teachers (SNAT) is budgeting over E540 000 for hosting the 2024 Southern Africa Teachers Organisation (SATO) Games.

The country will play host to this year’s edition penned for the Somhlolo National Stadium and the OlympAfrica in Lobamba. According to the SNAT President, Mbongwa Dlamini, the games are expected to start tomorrow and conclude on Saturday. Dlamini, who also serves as SATO President, said they were proud to host the games. “We are grateful to our partners for joining us in hosting the games. We thank government as well as the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs for helping us secure the under-renovation Somhlolo National Stadium,” Dlamini said.

He revealed that in the past they had challenges to secure sponsors as SNAT, and for that reason he was grateful to the companies that were joining the wagon of companies that were now partnering with them. “This is not about SNAT, but the country, as failure to successfully implement the games will give an unwanted picture about Eswatini,” he added.

Meanwhile, SNAT Secretary General Mduduzi ‘Lot’ Vilakati revealed that they were budgeting E540 000 to successfully host the regions teachers. “We are now at around E200 000 short of meeting our target and we therefore urge companies to join hands towards the hosting of the games,” Vilakati said. He also said the games would start with a march from Mashibhini to the Somhlolo National Stadium. Minister of Education and Training Owen Nxumalo, is expected to officially open the 2024 SATO Games. He further revealed their partners, who had pledged to assist the organisation in hosting the games in the country.

These are Makoti Festival, Nedbank, Instacash and Eswatini Royal Insurance Corporation (ESRIC), to name a few. “The government has sponsored us through securing Somhlolo, providing security and transport for our visitors,” he concluded. The organisation finally revealed that seven out of 11 countries had confirmed that they would be part of this year’s edition, but did not want to reveal them.
