In recognition of His Majesty King Mswati III’s exemplary leadership, demonstrated through his steadfast commitment to peace, cultural preservation, national unity, and progressive development in the Kingdom of Eswatini, the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has honoured the King.
The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim, on behalf of the Assembly presented a special citation to the King in honour of his exemplary leadership at a special meeting of the 9th Assembly of Kumasi on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at the Royal Dome Rattray Park in Kumasi.
The KMA commends the resilience, cultural strength, and unity of the Swazi people, noting that, having reigned since 1986, His Majesty has set a commendable example.
The citation read, in part: “As you observe the working of our local Assembly, we are proud to showcase our democratic practices and grassroots governance, which echo the spirit of participatory leadership and community development that your own Kingdom cherishes.”
The KMA hopes that the King’s visit will initiate a deeper collaboration between the people of Kumasi and pave the way for stronger cultural, diplomatic, and development ties.
The citation further read: “In honour of your exemplary leadership and your gracious presence, the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly is proud to present this Citation in your Honour as a 2ras a symbol of our deepest respect and enduring friendship.”
