The Royal Princes of the Kingdom of Eswatini, HRH Prince Sicalo Diamini and HEH Prince Bandzile Diamin have used their time in Uganda to concretize their relationship with the kingdom of Busoga and Uganda at large.
The eSwatini princes have been in Uganda having been invited the Kyabazinga of Busoga to attend the wedding ceremony of His Majesty William Nadiope and Jovia Mutesi, which happened on 18th November in Jinja City.
The Royal Princes are sons to Eswatini’s King Mswati III.
After the wedding, on Monday 20th November, the Kyabazinga welcomed the visitors to his private home in Buziga, a leafy surbub in Kampala. The Kyabazinga thanked them for accepting the invite on a short notice. He expressed his appreciation to the King of Eswatini for a positive response to the invitation and also noted that he sent through a very able team.
He noted that this visit should kick start a whole new chapter of collaboration between the Busoga Kingdom and Eswatini kingdom.
The Busoga king was in agreement to the proposal of establishing exchange programs between the two monarchs. He was also open to an idea of visiting Eswatini in the future to further the discussions and build the relations.

They relayed the King’s appreciation for the invitation and in turn promised to payback the favor. They noted that Uganda is such a beautiful country and Jinja in particular. They were also in agreement of the proposal of progressing the relationship between the two kingdoms an initiative to be driven by Ambassador Quillino Bamwine, the Honorary Consul of Eswatini.
Earlier in the day, the delegation led by Amb Bamwine met Chairman MK Movement and Senior Presidential Adviser for Special Operations, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
