SIBEBE RESORT ADHERES TO PARTIAL LOCKDOWN

MBABANE – The newly-refurbished holiday destination in Eswatini has temporarily closed its doors to adhere to government’s advice to stay at home.

This follows a number of other hotels and resorts that have closed their operations since the virus started spreading in the continent. Sibebe Resort’s Public Relations Officer, Larry Mhlanga, said the resort was in full support of the efforts done by the government of Eswatini to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the kingdom.

Rise

The numbers of confirmed positive cases has been on the rise in neighbouring countries as well as in Eswatini. as of yesterday there were eight confirmed cases in Eswatini. Mhlanga said the exercise of adhering to the partial lockdown was important in that people pulled from all corners of the country in order to assist government. “The well-being of our employees and clients is our top priority and we have, as an establishment, decided to temporarily close our operations to play our part in limiting the spread of the novel coronavirus,” Mhlanga said.

Effective

He stated that the closure of the resort was effective from yesterday until further notice. Just 10km out of the capital city, the establishment is well-known for its proximity to the famous landmark in Eswatini which is the Sibebe Rock and its manmade infinity pool which was built in 2019. It had been operating throughout the March period. Mhlanga revealed that before the decision to close they had been practising the necessary precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. He said they saw it fit to totally shut down since that would prevent any human contact. Mhlanga urged their patrons to also adhere to the safety measures by staying safe and remaining at home throughout the period of the partial lockdown which is supposed to last for 20 days from last week Friday.
