When you switch on your radio in the morning and hear a familiar voice greeting the nation, you’re not just listening to any station — you’re tuning into the heart of Eswatini: the Eswatini Broadcasting and Information Services (EBIS).

So, since its establishment, EBIS has grown into more than just a state-run broadcaster. It has become a mirror that reflects the heartbeat of the nation  and platform that amplifies the voices of ordinary Swazis. But how exactly does EBIS impact the country? The answer lies in its power to inform, educate, entertain, and unite.

So lets dive in and see how EBIS has created a wonderful impact to the nation as a whole!

 

•  A Trusted Source of Information

 

In a time when misinformation spreads at the speed of a click, EBIS remains a trusted source of news for many. Its daily news bulletins, current affairs programs, and public service announcements are crucial in keeping citizens informed about government policies, national emergencies, health campaigns, and social development initiatives. Whether it’s COVID-19 updates or agricultural tips for rural farmers, EBIS brings verified information directly to the people.

 

•  Cultural Preservation and Promotion

 

 

Eswatini’s rich culture and heritage are not only celebrated during national events but also echoed through the airwaves of EBIS. Traditional music, folklore, siSwati storytelling, and community discussions are all part of the station’s content. This not only fosters national pride but also plays a critical role in preserving the Swazi identity for future generations!!! 

 

• Educational Empowerment📚

 

EBIS also  supports the nation’s education system by airing programs that are both informative and enlightening. From health education to youth empowerment series, the broadcasters ensure that knowledge is accessible even in the remotest corners of the country. For many students in rural areas, EBIS is not just a station — it’s a classroom without walls.

 

• A Platform for Voices Often Unheard💯
  

What makes EBIS stand out is its commitment to giving a voice to the voiceless. Community-based programs allow citizens from various backgrounds — farmers, youth leaders, small business owners, and activists — to share their stories, struggles, and solutions. This inclusivity strengthens democratic dialogue and community participation.

 

• Disaster and Crisis Communication🗣

 

During national emergencies  EBIS plays a frontline role in crisis communication. Whether it’s a natural disaster, health outbreak, or national announcement, the broadcaster becomes a lifeline, delivering real-time updates that can save lives. Its wide reach ensures that no Swazi is left in the dark when it matters most.

 

 

• Job Creation and Media Development✔️

 

Behind every broadcast is a team of producers, journalists, content creators, technicians, and presenters — many of whom are young professionals trained in local institutions like  Limkokwing University of Creative and Technology, Eswatini College of Technology and University of Eswatini just to mention a few! EBIS provides a vital platform for practical learning, internships, and employment, thus contributing to the development of Eswatini’s media landscape.

EBIS is more than a broadcaster — it’s a national asset. It tells our stories, challenges our thinking, uplifts our spirits, and brings us together. In a rapidly evolving media world, its commitment to public service broadcasting remains a cornerstone of Eswatini’s growth and unity.

As the country continues to embrace digital innovation, EBIS must adapt and evolve — but its core mission remains the same: to be the voice of the nation, for the nation.

So, the next time you tune in to EBIS, remember — you’re not just listening. You’re connecting with the soul of Eswatini.
