Development projects in Ezulwini

The Ezulwini Municipality continued to maintain public open spaces and ensured that they do not
pose a threat or become a nuisance to local neighboring properties.
All over grown public open spaces were maintained during the 2019/20 financial year. The
Municipality employed casual labourers to ensure the upkeep of the spaces.

The Department is responsible for the maintenance of all Council infrastructures in the urban area.
It is under this function that the department cleaned stormwater drains, replaced damaged road
signs, rehabilitated raised pedestrian walkways and maintained potholes for the various roads within
the urban area.
The Department, in its efforts to keep the town clean, further did grass cutting on the entire town’s
road reserves.

Major Commercial Developments

An application for the building of the Eswatini Communications Commission (ESCCOM) and
the extension of Medisun Clinic represented the only major commercial developments for the
year under review. These projects had not commenced during the time of compiling this
report. Other applications for the ongoing major commercial developments were received in
previous financial years.

Construction of the International Convention Centre (ICC) and the Five Star Hotel (FISH) is
still ongoing. The ICC is expected to be complete before the FISH. The project’s completion
dates were revised from the initially set dates due to lack of funding for the project. This has
led to building works to come to a halt and a clear completion date could not be ascertained.
The developer commenced the construction of a stormwater management system and civil
works on the property and on the MR103. The upgrade of the MR103 is almost complete as
the North and South traffic circles have been paved and minor works such as kerbing and
channelling are ongoing and road markings are to commence soon
