LOBAMBA- Senators have congratulated His Majesty King Mswati III for assuming
the chairmanship of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
Senators said the king brings with him a wealth of experience to the position.
They have urged the country to exploit the position in order to tap into
advanced communication and trade opportunities.
Senator Themba Msibi said the recent COMESA Summit was a success.
"We hope we will benefit from trade with other African countries. We also hope
we will take advantage of the opportunities that the chairmanship comes with,"
he said.
Senator Prince Kusa said Senate should send people to formally congratulate the
king and pledge the full support of the House.
"Swaziland will get recognition and COMESA could be our road to the first world
status, especially through communication and trade," said Senator Winnie
Magagula.
Meanwhile, Senate President, Chief Gelane Zwane applauded the Minister of
Commerce, Industry and Trade, Jabulile Mashwama, for her role in organising the
COMESA Summit.
"You did a good job and made us proud as senators. It was also the first time
that we were accorded such attention. We hope other ministers learn from you,"
said Zwane.

Comments
Being congratulated is something good and nice but we should bear in our minds
that we have to accept criticism also. Its natural and I don't see anything
wrong about being criticized; the only thing you have to do is to mend your
ways.
