Mbabane - Post Report Question and Answers
Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
Depends. We are currently adding an ADA-approved residence to the housing pool. That said, in public or non-Embassy areas, movement for mobility impaired individuals might be challenging. Most government and business buildings do not have elevators, ramps, etc. - Aug 2023
It would be a better post than most on the continent. - Oct 2019
Definitely. There are very few sidewalks, and were there are sidewalks they are usually very crowded. It would be difficult to use them in a wheelchair or with crutches. Also, Mbabane is incredibly hilly, making it pretty difficult just to walk around. - Mar 2015
Lots, sidewalks exist only in the city center, and even then they are poor. Going to the shopping centers would be ok. - Feb 2011
The town and country are not set up for someone with physical disabilities. - May 2010
It would be doable in Mbabane- this city actually has sidewalks and a few elevators- but not very easy. Outside of Mbabane it would be challenging. - Mar 2008
