TWR Swaziland office building in Manzini.  When completed in 1992, all three floors were used for administration and program production.  Today all the programs go directly to the transmitter site via satellite from the Africa Regional Office near Johannesburg, South Africa.

TWR Swaziland office building in Manzini is located at the corner of Tenbergen and Martin Streets. When completed in 1992, all three floors were used for administration and program production. Today all the programs go directly to the transmitter site via satellite from the Africa Regional Office near Johannesburg, South Africa.

Now the The Voice of the Church (VOC) uses the first floor for their FM network, originally set up by TWR.  The TWR offices are located on the second floor and apartments are on the third floor.

From 1973 to 1992, TWR’s studios and offices were located in the top floor of the building indicated. This photo was taken at the corner of Masalesikhundleni St looking west down Nkosehlusaza St. (the main west bound street in town).  Today it is being overshadowed by a huge building now under construction.

The Manzini Police Station looks the same, except for the multi-story buildings surrounding it.  This is where we took driving tests to get our Swaziland drivers licenses in 1973.  Larry got a heavy duty truck license.
