US Deportations to Eswatini: Eswatini says two more Latin American “third-country nationals” have arrived after being deported from the United States under a $5.1m bilateral deal, bringing the total to more than 30 since last year, with rights groups again questioning whether some people are being detained despite already serving sentences. China–Eswatini Tensions: China has told its citizens to leave Eswatini, citing “extremely high” security risks linked to cyber fraud and illegal online gambling, while Eswatini rejects the warning and points to ongoing enforcement. Illegal Gambling Probe: Eswatini’s illegal online gambling crackdown has widened into an organised crime and international fraud investigation, with hundreds of devices under forensic examination and alleged links to senior politicians and officials. Public Service Push: Eswatini’s Deputy Prime Minister Thulisile Dladla urged SADC public service commissions to move from talk to action—root out corruption and deliver measurable citizen benefits. Sports & Culture: Mbali Dlamini heads to Tanzania for an ICC female coaches programme; Umhlanga reed-cutting continues with Princess Sakhizwe praising turnout and urging cultural preservation; and Eswatini’s youth football development gets a boost as a Spanish FIFA Talent Development Scheme coach leads at COSSASA in Bulawayo.
