- 2020 May 21, Keoni Everington, “Over 40 Eswatini students duped into skinning chickens in W. Taiwan”, in Taiwan News[1], archived from the original on 25 May 2020, Society[2]:
- Taiwan's ambassador to the Kingdom of Eswatini, Jeremy Liang (梁洪昇), told the paper that he had just been informed of the situation and that "the matter was being looked into." Liang said he had helped the students process their applications to the university and had not been aware of the conditions of the workplace they were to be assigned to.
- 2021 June 29, Nimi Princewill and Stephanie Busari, “Officials deny King of Eswatini – Africa’s lone absolute monarch – has fled”, in CNN[3]:
- In February, Mswati announced that he had recovered from Covid-19 after undergoing treatment “for a couple of days” with an undisclosed antiviral medication from Taiwan. Eswatini enjoys a blossoming diplomatic tie with Taiwan — currently the East Asian country’s only ally in Africa.
