HHOHHO Regional Administrator Ben Nsibandze has paid tribute to the United States Peace Corps Volunteers presently visiting Swaziland.

This was during the swearing in ceremonyat the Mountain Inn yesterday.

"What I particularly admire about the American Peace Corps is their determination to learn our Swazi language and our culture, and for this reason, I admire your preparedness to be adopted members of the Swazi families using your given Swazi traditional names. I am also impressed with the whole volunteer programme, as I believe every person has a God-given responsibility to be their brothers'-keeper."

He said as they commenced their assignment, he wished them a fruitful stay in Swaziland."I would also like to congratulate NERCHA for the services rendered in our chiefdoms and communities through the ka-gogo centres, and the banakekeli, emahlombe ekukhalela programme, brought right at the doorstep of our chiefdoms."
