Zakes Nkosi, President of the Federation of Swaziland Employers and Chamber of Commerce (FSE&CC) has appealed to the Government to help out the textile industry from its blues as it has done to other sectors like sugar. He demanded that the Government must allot the same package it has given for sugar since the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA III) is scheduled to expire by September, 30, 2007.

Nkosi emphasized that private sector was following the progress in regional and international organizations like Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and South African Customs Union (SACU) with interest.
