ENCAC 19 Oct 2026 Arts & Culture
The Eswatini National Council of Arts and Culture (ENCAC) and Pigg’s Peak Town Council joined forces to celebrate the country’s vibrant culture and create opportunities for creatives to showcase their talents. The partnership came to life at the Pigg’s Peak Town Inter-Ward Cultural Festival, attended by notable guests, including Speaker in the House of Assembly Jabulani Mabuza, Deputy Speaker in the House of Assembly Madala Shongwe, Hhohho Regional MP Tenele Shongwe, Pigg’s Peak Town Mayor Sipho Shongwe and ENCAC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Stanley Dlamini, to name a few.
The festival was more than a celebration of culture, it also gave nominees in the ongoing National Arts and Culture Awards (NACA) a platform to perform and campaign for votes. Culture teams including Sibhaca, Lutsango, Ingadla and African Dance also took centre stage, treating attendees to spirited performances.
In his remarks, ENCAC CEO Stanley Dlamini shared the importance of cultural festivals like this, the value of collaboration and culture’s role in contributing to the economy.
