“We now have a Malaysian university, the Limkokwing University of Creative Technology that has transformed the landscape of education in the Kingdom and the SADC regions. We are now more confident of a positive future for our youth that is graduating from an institution whose programs add a critical component to areas like the innovation and the competiveness agenda that we are deliberating upon today.”
His Majesty King Mswati II of the Kingdom of eSwatini
In 2011, Limkokwing University eSwatini opened in the capital city of Mbabane.
Taking into account feedback from policymakers, Tan Sri Limkokwing ensured that the programs offered by the Mbabane campus were aligned with the needs of the country under eSwatini Vision 2022.
This national development roadmap is similar to those in Botswana and Lesotho, all of which are modelled on Malaysia’s Vision 2020.
His Majesty, King Mswati III, gave Limkokwing University a glowing recommendation, saying that ever since its establishment, it has helped point the nation in the right direction to become a First World country by the year 2022.
Since opening its doors, Limkokwing University eSwatini has continued to train and equip the youngest and brightest in the Kingdom for the challenges which still lie ahead.
The latest batch of over 800 student leaders and young entrepreneurs graduated on 13 October 2017.
“The days of learning to be an employee are over. Now is the time where students must learn how to become entrepreneurs. This is indeed the platform that has been placed by Limkokwing on our students,” said King Mswati III, in his royal address to the graduating class.
