Major highway project for Swaziland in the pipeline

MBABANE – Has Swaziland’s
15-year building spree come to
an end? Only one major project
remains as a national “must do”
project, but it’s a big one – a
bypass road around the central
commercial town Manzini that will
enable Gauteng to Maputo traffic to
travel through Swaziland without
encountering urban encumbrances
that come from passing through
towns. Early this year the Mbabane
bypass highway opened for traffic.
“There will be a bypass
highway around Manzini. It is
needed for the Sikhupe Airport
under construction east of town.
The only question is routing,” a
highly placed government source
told FTW on condition that
the information is used in deep
background.
