E40M PROJECT BRINGING 500 JOBS

MBABANE – A development project with an estimated capital investment of E40 million will bring over 500 employment opportunities at Ngwenya.

The Administrator of Mchalageni Development Company, Sanele Zwane, said these opportunities lied in the development of Sibonelo Township on Remainder of Portion 8 Farm Droxford Estate No 1007, Ngwenya.
The site overlooks the Ngwenya Border Gate, linking the country and South Africa.

 Zwane said the construction industry would have an opportunity to render their services as soon as the business received formal approval from the Human Settlement Authority.
“The purpose of the development is to formalise the existing township and provide the necessary infrastructure,” he said.

Focusing

Zwane said his company had already recruited two project managers. One would be focusing on the development of the township while the other project manager would be monitoring the construction of the shopping complex.
 In the development of the township, Zwane said, there would be 415 title deed plots that shall be offered to the public. About 10 of the plots shall measure 4 000m2 while the rest would be 1 000m2.
“We have not yet set the price projections for the plots yet,” Zwane said.

Structuring

The township development shall entail proper structuring of utilities. Zwane said the township that was being developed already had the basic utilities. He said the township in Ngwenya, 50 metres away from the entry point to South Africa, was an existing informal township that they needed to develop.
Zwane said his company had already engaged the utility companies, Eswatini Electricity Company (EEC), Eswatini Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (EPTC) and Eswatini Water Services Corporation (EWSC).
He said these entities would be present during the scoping meeting scheduled for February 16, 2019 at 10am at Mchalageni Offices.

Zwane said the township that would be developed was 50 metres away from the Ngwenya Police Post, while it was also two kilometres away from a university and four kilometres away from a primary school that was at Ngwenya Village.
