According to BBC reports, the Parliament of Eswatini, while discussing the implementation of the Citizen Economic Empowerment Act, agreed to grant foreign business operators a grace period of at least 12 months to exit. However, the report points out that unless the law is officially amended to incorporate this time frame, regulatory authorities may still continue to enforce it under existing provisions; some shops run by Asian operators have already been shut down. It should not be written as though the time frame discussed by Parliament has become a fully effective suspension of enforcement.
