The Kingdom of Eswatini has become the first African country to join the Clean Network; a United States initiative aimed at improving digital security, including on 5G. Eswatini joins over 50 Clean Countries, 170 Clean Telcos & many global hi-tech Clean Companies on the network.

Acting ICT Minister Manqoba Khumalo: “It is critical that data travelling across Eswatini’s digital infrastructure is safe. The Clean Network Initiative provides a strong foundation for countries & companies to ensure the safety & security of their most sensitive data from aggressive intrusions to malign actors.”

US Under Secretary of State Keith Krach: “Eswatini’s leadership as the first African country to join the Clean Network paves the way for expanded US private sector investment & strengthens the joint security of like-minded partners in the region & around the world.”
