“The situation is completely under control,” Swaziland’s Transport Minister Efraim Magagulla said at a parliamentary meeting in Mbaban, “Our country’s trade fleet is in full order and safe. We just don’t know where he is, that’s all". Responding to questions from members of parliament, Magagula acknowledged that a country without sea access had lost the traces of its only ship, Swazimar. "We are sure it is somewhere in the sea. We even sent an expedition somehow to search, but because of drunkenness problems, the ship was not found. So, strictly speaking, we really lost him a little. But I categorically reject all arguments about the incompetence of the government. Swazimar is a large ship, painted in beautiful bright colors, it can be seen even at night. Remember my words, it will be found."
