Eswatini loses prime minister to COVID-19
The government of Eswatini says prime minister, Ambrose Dlamini has died, four weeks after he tested positive for coronavirus.
On the 16th of November, the 52 year old prime minister announced he had tested positive for coronavirus and said he was asymptomatic and feeling well.
A few weeks later, the Eswatini government said Dlamini had been moved to a hospital in South Africa, with the aim of fast-tracking his recovery.
But on Sunday the government said Dlamini died while under medical care without giving more details.
Dlamini had been prime minister of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, since October 2018.
