Drone Awareness - Why Registering Your Drone Before Flight Is Essential

The growing use of drones in Eswatini brings exciting opportunities for photography, videography, and innovation, but safety and compliance must always come first.

ESWACAA reminds all drone owners and operators that drones must be properly registered and approved before operation in line with the Civil Aviation Act, 2022. Responsible drone ownership helps protect aviation safety, national security, and the public.

Advancing Leadership Development at ESWACAA

ESWACAA recently participated in a series of leadership initiatives hosted by the Leadership Growth Forum-LGF to advance our strategic goal of implementing comprehensive leadership development.

The journey began with an exclusive experience at the Mountain View Hotel for the CEO Nights Podcast. Our team had the privilege of witnessing a powerful conversation as Nyimpini Mabunda sat down with the globally renowned leader, Professor Bonang Mohale. Far more than just an interview, the session was a true masterclass on purpose, transformation, and building impactful legacies.

Building on that momentum, the Authority joined Book Review with other organizations. This forum featured an in-depth exploration of three of Professor Mohale’s transformative works: Lift As You Rise, Behold the Turtle, and Coming in from the Cold.

The session offered our cross-functional team an invaluable opportunity to absorb critical insights on resilience, systemic transformation, and institutional growth.

For the Authority, these consecutive engagements go far beyond standard corporate events. They serve as strategic platforms to network, collaborate, and bring visionary thinking back into our daily operations. By consistently engaging with great minds,

ESWACAA continues to cultivate an organizational culture deeply rooted in continuous learning and professional growth.
