MBABANE - The arts industry is a fundamental aspect of a country and the new government is recognising this.

Newly-appointed Prime Minister, Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini and the Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs Harries ‘Madze’ Bulunga have confirmed their presence at the second edition of the MTN SWAMA Awards, tomorrow to be held at the Royal Swazi Spa Convention Centre in Ezulwini.

This was revealed by the Swaziland Arts and Music Association President, Melusi ‘Zox’ Dlamini who said even other cabinet ministers had promised their presence.

The PM has always supported the arts as seen through the multiple sponsorships while he was still MTN Eswatini CEO.
Dlamini said they were humbled by his support.

All is set for the awards as the stage is set, rehearsals have been done, presenters are ready and tickets are selling out very fast.

The yellow carpet activities will be from 4pm to 6pm.
“After 6pm, we are expecting dignitaries to arrive and by 6.45pm everyone should be seated and the show will start at 7pm sharp. We urge people to keep time as we will start at 7pm, sharp rest assured. We have promised the head of government this and we do not make promises which we will keep.
