MANZINI: Government through the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives allegedly used public funds to purchase a Boran Bull worth R8million, the Bull was presented to King Mswati during the ongoing Eswatini International Trade Fair(EITF).
“Make sure you keep it safe”, said the King after being told about the presence of the Bull, the King was touring the Stalls last weekend.
On another note, eSwatini is facing a health crisis amid shortage of drugs in public hospitals, dozens have died since the crisis erupted triggered by rampant corruption and extravagant spending by Mswati and his loyalists, that include a network of capitalists.
It remains unclear why Government opted to use public funds and purchase such an expensive Bull for the King and if, this was not an act of disguised money-laundering.
