MBABANE– Neal Rijkenberg is the Acting Deputy Prime Minister.
The country’s Minister of Finance, Neal Rijkenberg, has been placed as the Acting Deputy Prime Minister as of today.
Rijkenberg will be standing in for Deputy Prime Minister Themba Nhlanganiso Masuku, who is currently out of the country.
Confirming this was Deputy Government Spokesperson Thabile Mdluli, who was notifying the press that His Excellency Prime Minister Cleopas Dlamini would be returning from Turkiye through KMIII Airport in the afternoon.
“On another note, please also note that the DPM is currently out of the country in Taiwan. The Acting DPM will be Minister Neal Rijkenberg (sic),” said Mdluli.
Efforts to get regarding the Masuku’s return proved to be futile by the time this article was compiled this morning.
