According to a report in The Times of Swaziland, a fund dealing specifically with the distribution of money for the elderly will soon be established in Swaziland. The fund, called the Social Welfare Assistance Fund, will ensure that the elderly are paid fairly and in time and should begin operating in April or May this year. The fund is also in the process of forming criteria that will be set and written for purposes of standardisation. The budget, which was previously E50 million, has increased to E94 million in the hope of benefiting the elderly.
