Madam Mnisi was accompanied by representatives from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Eswatini Qualifications Authority, Eswatini Higher Education Council, Ministry of Finance, the business community, NGOs, Royal Eswatini Sugar Corporation, and the European Union.
In the absence of TVETA’s Acting Director General Mr. Timothy Nyongesa, the delegation was received by Dr. Paul Wanyeki, Acting Director for Standards Development, Compliance and Enforcement.
