 MBABANE – As means of assisting chiefdoms to become agents of their own development, chiefs from the Hhohho Region will donate two cows.


Individuals and companies have also been encouraged to donate as well if they wish to support this initiative.


The donation of the cattle is part of a project called the Hhohho Regional Development Initiative (HRDI), which was announced by the Regional Administrator (RA), Prince Tshekedi.


Each chiefdom is expected to submit two cattle for the project with preference being heifers (ematfokati).
During a press conference held at the Municipal Council of Mbabane yesterday, the prince mentioned that the initiative was aimed at assisting government and the King in addressing the many challenges faced by communities.


“As chiefs, there is a need for us to show that we support our King in his endeavour to promote economic development. We are launching a fund that will help deal with challenges brought by natural disasters like storms, poverty and problems faced by the elderly,” the prince said.


He highlighted that such a project would not succeed if there was no financial muscle.
According to the prince, the project had already been started with the identification of the cattle being submitted to the RA’s office and that the deadline for submission was December 14.
