MBABANE – Exciting prizes, exclusive discounts, and special offers await visitors at the 2025 Eswatini International Trade Fair, as Eswatini TV rolls out its biggest ever engagement drive. Running from 29 August to 8 September at the Mavuso Trade and Exhibition Centre in Manzini, this year’s edition promises to reward both loyal viewers and first-time participants.
The broadcaster is launching a TV Licence Winning Competition, giving television owners who pay their licences at the Eswatini TV stall the chance to walk away with fantastic prizes. Rewards include weekend getaways, lunch vouchers, and hampers, courtesy of leading partners such as Sibane Sami Hotel, Simunye Country Club, Happy Valley Hotel, The George Hotel, Computronics, Logico, Mac Steel, Build It Nhlangano, and Mbabane.
Nomcebo Malinga, Senior Marketing Communication and Brand Officer at Eswatini Television Authority, said the initiative was about rewarding loyalty and fostering compliance.
“We want to reward our loyal viewers while encouraging compliance with TV licence payments. This competition is our way of giving back to the community and making the Trade Fair experience even more exciting for everyone,” she said.
The competition will run from 29 August to 30 September 2025, with winners announced in a special live broadcast on 30 September. The results will also be shared across Eswatini TV’s social media platforms.
To ease the burden for those with overdue payments, Eswatini TV is also offering a 50% discount on penalties. However, individuals who have already been served with summons will still be subject to legal processes.
In a further effort to expand accessibility, the broadcaster is offering set top boxes at a discounted price of E350 and remote controls at E100. These will be available in limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis throughout the Trade Fair.
The Eswatini TV stall is expected to be one of the busiest attractions of this year’s fair, blending entertainment, accessibility, and community incentives. By combining compliance rewards with discounted digital tools, Eswatini TV is not only enhancing the Trade Fair experience but also promoting greater connectivity across the country.
With such a dynamic package on offer, visitors have every reason to stop by the stall, settle their TV licences, and stand a chance to win big.
