Eswatini King Advocates For Women Participation in Governance

King Mswati III has advocated for the deliberate involvement of women governance across Africa.

The head of state of the Eswatini Kingdom made this call on June 25, 2025, during his engagement with Ghana’s National House of Chiefs in Kumasi.

His Majesty emphasised the critical contribution women can bring to the table when given the opportunity.

“We must identify the unique role of women in governance. Ghana queen mothers exemplifies the strength of female leadership just as the Queen of Eswatini in guiding our country’s progress.”

“In Eswatini, there can be no King without Queen because she plays a significant role in leadership of the kingdom.”

The King further hailed the Ghanaian reception he received on his arrival as he expressed gratification.

“Since our arrival, we have been received not as mere visitors but as members of an extended family. From the vibrant cultural displays to a heartfelt embrace here in Kumasi, we are feeling truly at home. This exemplifies the spirit of Africa where borders are transcendent in our shared history that unit us beyond our difference.”

His Majesty further expressed his anticipation towards the planned durbar to held in his honour at the Manhyia Palace on June 26.

“We are looking forward to the grand durbar of Chiefs tomorrow where we will witness different performances of chiefs.”
