AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Zimbabwe–Eswatini diplomacy: Zimbabwe confirmed the death of Ambassador Victor Matemadanda, its envoy to Mozambique and the Kingdom of Eswatini, aged 66, with officials citing no cause of death as questions swirl after unverified claims of poisoning. Regional politics: The news comes as Zimbabwe’s war-veteran legacy and Zanu PF factional history remain in the spotlight, with condolences pouring in and funeral details expected. Eswatini governance & finance: MPs want government to explore using EswatiniBank to manage certain funds, while the bank’s recapitalisation needs and FINCORP’s unpaid loan losses from locals abroad and former civil servants also feature in the week’s policy debate. Migration pressure: Eswatini security officers reportedly arrest foreigners trying to enter ahead of South Africa’s June 30 “March and March” protests, adding to recent court cases. Business & controversy: Controversial Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo says King Mswati III granted him Eswatini citizenship and a diplomatic passport after a royal audience. Human rights: A global report says at least 358 human rights defenders were killed across 28 countries in 2025, underscoring rising risks for activists.
