Mbabane, Eswatini – The Ministry of Labour and Social Security has introduced the Eswatini Labour Migration Policy, aiming to protect Emaswati seeking employment abroad.
Labour Minister Phila Buthelezi launched the policy on March 6, 2025, outlining its goal to regulate labour migration and ensure the safety and fair treatment of migrant workers.
