Ezulwini- Eswatini Beverages Ltd has been crowned the Overall Highest Compliant Contributor by the Eswatini Revenue Service (ERS), emerging as the biggest winner during the 2026 Client Appreciation Day awards held at the Happy Valley Hotel on Friday.
The company received the highest recognition after demonstrating exceptional compliance with its tax obligations, outperforming businesses from various sectors of the economy that were honoured for maintaining good standing with the revenue authority.
The award formed part of the ERS Client Appreciation Day, an annual initiative that celebrates businesses, institutions and individuals that consistently comply with tax and customs obligations while contributing to the country’s economic development.
Delivering his keynote address, Minister for Finance Neal Rijkenberg congratulated all recipients for setting an example of responsible corporate citizenship.
“You have shown that it is possible to pursue growth while honouring your obligations to the country. You have maintained good standing and demonstrated integrity in your dealings with the tax system. That deserves recognition,” he said.
He said compliant taxpayers strengthen the country’s fiscal position, enabling Government to finance public services and national development programmes.
