- BY NHLANGANIS­O MKHONTA

MBABANE – The Public Service Pension Fund’s (PSPF) properties worth E570 million in Mbabane near completion.

These properties include the PSPF’s 13 blocks of three-storey buildings where the organisati­on invested about E124 million.

The other property is the Eswatini Associatio­n of Savings and Credit Cooperativ­es (ESASCCO) building in Mbabane, where PSPF has invested about E450 million.

Converted

The building is currently being converted into a premium office complex. It is expected to be complete by October 2025 and be ready for occupation by January 2026.

The properties were on Monday toured by the Prime Minister (PM), Rusell Mmiso Dlamini. Addressing PSPF staff, Dlamini congratula­ted the organisati­on for the work they were doing and challenged the executive and Board of Trustees to ensure that it remained the premier organisati­on that it was.

Invest

He further encouraged the institutio­n to invest more in the country, applauding the institutio­n for having at least 45 per cent local investment­s.

It is worth noting that the fund’s strategic objective is to reach 50 per cent target in Eswatini investment to increase economic growth and developmen­t.

He further invited the institutio­n to be part of an Investment Indaba that is being spearheade­d by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Trade, where businesses will invest over E1 billion in new and innovative initiative­s that are being targeted.

He then urged PSPF to consider partnershi­ps and possible investment­s in the areas of aviation, rail, energy and mining.
