"We know where we are coming from with HIV. Hence we sat down and came up with a theme that says, we do admit at some point we were in crisis as a country but we are happy to say from crisis we picked some opportunities and the nations are here to learn from Swaziland"
Mr. Khanyakwezwe Mabuza

World AIDS Day 2021
"The 2021 global world aids day theme: END INEQUALITIES. END AIDS. END PANDEMICS resonates with our multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS response as a country. This is because inequalities remain prevalent in HIV/AIDS response as we strive to reach remote communities providing services to all who need it without any form of discrimination and closing the gender gap in the access of HIV services."
Honourable Cleopas Sipho Dlamini
His Excellency The Right Honourable Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Eswatini
