The government spokesperson stated that the influx of asylum seekers arriving in Eswatini from Mozambique includes not only Mozambican nationals, but also individuals from other countries. According to the registration data of those entering, most asylum seekers so far are from Burundi, with others coming from Rwanda and Somalia.

Nxumalo made these comments during an interview with Newzroom Afrika.
