The fourth edition of the Eswatini Creators Awards will be held this year at Sharma House in Ezulwini next Saturday (February 3). The theme this year is African Bling.
The news was confirmed by the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Swazi Boy, Nokwanda Sibandze, today. She said, “Yes, the venue will be Sharma House. We are happy to host the fourth edition of the award where they started, and we hope that people will come in their numbers.”
Sibandze shared with this publication that tickets are E150.
