In Eswatini, 43 homesteads beside an active coal mine say blasting is splitting their walls. The blast logs and inspection records that could prove it are held by a Ministry that polices the mine and owns a quarter of it.

Beside Shaft 3 of Eswatini's Maloma Coal Mine, blasting is splitting walls of 43 homesteads. The blast logs and inspection records held by a Ministry that both polices the mine and owns a quarter of it — are nowhere to be found.https://t.co/3Myuys0iL3

A donor-funded garden run by 11 women in Lavumisa in Eswatini has stood idle since 2025 after repeated South African wildlife raids destroyed crops and made farming impossible, leaving them without food, income or compensation.

Three years after Eswatini passed a law requiring the state to monitor gambling harm, conduct addiction research and establish a rehabilitation fund, the country still has no central system to track online betting activity.

EmaSwati along Eswatini’s southern border say bush pigs, warthogs and other wildlife crossing from nearby Harloo Private Game Reserve in South Africa have repeatedly destroyed crops and killed livestock — losses for which they say no one compensates them.

In Chibini, Senzo Dlamini showed patches of maize destroyed by bush pigs, pointing to freshly trampled stalks and stripped cobs.
“One wonders whether there will be enough food for my family, given these daily losses. I fear guarding my fields at night,”

A fence that doesn’t work.
Wildlife that crosses freely.
Communities left to deal with the consequences.

Along the SA–Eswatini border, a failing veterinary fence is driving a quiet crisis. Crops are destroyed, livestock is lost, and families face growing food insecurity.

A veterinary cordon fence meant to stop disease is failing – allowing wildlife from a South African private reserve to devastate crops, kill livestock and heighten foot-and-mouth disease risks for rural communities in Eswatini.
