MBABANE– SWAGGA Executive Director Nonhlanhla Dlamini has come forward to advocate for more female representation in Eswatini politics.
Encouraging voters to consider the countless benefits of electing women, Dlamini said she seeks to address the longstanding underrepresentation of women in parliament. With her powerful call-to-action, Dlamini said she was aiming to instigate a positive shift towards gender equality and increased female participation in decision-making.

“With great hope in Emaswati, I believe that during these parliamentary elections, we can come together to look at the importance of looking beyond gender biases and assessing candidates based on their competency, experience, and dedication to public service.” She said
Dlamini also emphasized that she believes that voters should embrace the potential of women leaders.
