AESAP Registration Council

Regulating, controlling, and registering professionals to build a better tomorrow! - AESAP Registration Council - AESAP, Construction Industry Council Eswatini - CIC, and the Construction Industry Development Board - CIDB in SA.

Building stronger infrastructure networks together! 🏗️

Yesterday’s site visits and strategic engagements highlighted the power of cross-border collaboration in elevating built-environment standards.

Here is a look at more moments from Day 2 of our joint infrastructure tour alongside our colleagues from the Construction Industry Council - CIC, and the Construction Industry Development Board - CIDB of South Africa.

The next stop, yesterday, as the team, (AESAP, Construction Industry Council Eswatini - CIC, and Construction Industry Development Board - CIDB) turned its focus towards major national landmarks driving luxury tourism and business travel – went for a site visit to the iconic Ezulwini Palazzo Hotel & Conference Center.

This mega-project represents a massive leap forward for Eswatini’s economic growth, hospitality sector, and national infrastructure capacity.

The team is captured during the inspection site, working hand-in-hand as industry regulators and government stakeholders to ensure quality, safety, and excellence in our built environment.

Day 2 of our joint infrastructure tour (02/06/2026), brought fantastic insights! We continued our cross-border collaboration with the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) South Africa.

As we continue our intensive multi-stakeholder tour to evaluate ongoing infrastructure development in the Kingdom of Eswatini.
Today’s focus is on national energy security and mega-projects, with a key site visit to the Lower Maguduza Hydropower Project in Sidvokodvo. This massive E1.3 billion run-of-river project on the Great Usuthu River is a major milestone for Eswatini, designed to increase local power generation capacity by 20% and advance national climate resilience.

Our joint delegation, comprised of The Registration Council for Architects, Engineers, Surveyors and Allied Professionals (AESAP), The Construction Industry Council Eswatini - CIC and Construction Industry Development Board - CIDB (South Africa) is auditing compliance, quality assurance, and engineering standards on-site to ensure the project meets strict regulatory codes for safety and excellence.

Day 2 of the Infrastructure Joint Tour is officially underway!🤝

The Registration Council for Architects, Engineers, Surveyors And Allied Professionals (AESAP)’s Council board members, Chief Executive Officer, and dedicated staff are on the move this morning, heading out for a critical day of cross-border collaboration and high-impact site visits across the Kingdom of Eswatini.

Today, our team is connecting directly with the Construction Industry Council Eswatini - CIC and a visiting delegation from the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) South Africa.

This powerful joint initiative focuses on:

📊 Strategic Benchmarking: Reviewing legislative frameworks to elevate built-environment standards.

🏗️ Live Site Inspections: Observing progress, safety protocols, and engineering practices on active construction projects across Eswatini.

🌍 Regional Linkages: Strengthening cross-border public-private partnerships and knowledge sharing between South Africa and Eswatini.

🛡️ Enforcing Compliance: Ensuring that all regional developments champion public safety and robust regulatory standards.

By blending international best practices with local expertise, we are building a safer, more resilient infrastructure landscape for the region.

Stay tuned as we share updates from our site visits throughout the day! 🚜📐

📢 Progress and Partnership: AESAP and CIC Tour the Mpakeni Dam.

We are proud to share a major milestone in Eswatini’s infrastructure growth! Here are some of the pictures from the joint site tour of the Mpakeni Dam today - 1st June 2026.

As one of the largest and most ambitious projects currently underway in the country, this monumental E2.6 billion development is a testament to what we can achieve when industry and government align.

Why This Matters for Eswatini:

• 🌍 Strategic Mandates: Our mandates collaborate directly with the Ministry of Public Works and Transport to ensure structural integrity, safety, and sustainable national development.

• 💧 National Growth: Implemented under the Mkhondvo–Ngwavuma Water Augmentation Programme (EWADE), this dam will drastically improve water security, boost Shiselweni's agricultural output, and create vital local jobs.

• 🛠️ Engineering Excellence: Seeing local professionals, contractors, and stakeholders working together on site proves our commitment to building infrastructure that uplifts communities and empowers emaSwati.

We remain dedicated to working in tandem with The Ministry of Public Works and Transport to regulate, control, and execute projects of this magnitude to the highest global standards. Together, we are building a resilient, water-secure, and economically thriving Eswatini!

📍

The Registration Council for Architects, Engineers, Surveyors And Allied Professionals (AESAP), together with the Construction Industry Council (CIC) board members are, today, conducting a collaborative tour of the Mpakeni Dam. As one of Eswatini’s largest ongoing infrastructure projects, this visit aligns with The Ministry of Public Works and Transport to strengthen mandate ex*****on, capacity building, and sustainable development across the sector.
