Writing from Nkonyeni, Mr Manton said he was extremely proud to be involved with a team that was working so hard to change people’s lives.
“I am extremely proud to say that I have played a very small role in such a massive professional and extremely worthwhile humanitarian push/effort.
“The team has been trying so greatly to improve life and general nutrition levels in Swaziland, where TB and HIV have wreaked so much havoc over the years.”
