We would also like to thank His Majesty King Mswati III for the wonderful vision he has for sports in the kingdom. The king's love for sports is inspiring. His Majesty has consistently shown that he cares for sports and is a sportsman himself. We say Bayethe Wena Waphakathi,” reads a statement by ESRC Media Officer Dumisani Ntiwane.
The sports mother body in the country added that Nzima takes over from the workaholic Harries ‘Madze’ Bulunga, who was the previous minister. They said they were delighted to have Nzima as their new Minister and look forward to a fruitful fiveyear working relationship with him,” he said.

“His overseas experience will come in handy, as he executes his duties. We wish him well in his new endeavour.
We would also like to take this time to appeal to the sporting fraternity to give the new minister all the cooperation he needs for him to deliver successfully. There is only little he can do without the
