A very warm welcome to Mabuda Guest Farm!

Mabuda Farm is a family-run business owned by Jonathan and Helen Pons. The farm has been in Helen’s family since the 1930s, with the couple taking ownership in 1997. As proud Swazi citizens, Jonathan and Helen are deeply committed to their community in Siteki and to Eswatini as a whole.

Jonathan is a renowned ophthalmologist dedicated to fighting blindness in Eswatini and across southern Africa. He runs both his private practice, Lubombo Medical Services, and his charitable organization, Medical Missions Eswatini, from Mabuda. Helen oversees all farm administration and manages the Guest Farm. Together, they have four grown-up children who, along with their families, are delighted to support their parents in running Mabuda. 

Mabuda is both a beautiful hospitality venue and a thriving working farm. Our main crops include coffee, macadamia nuts, hay, and beef. Inspired by their Christian faith, Jonathan and Helen have a vision for Mabuda that extends far beyond business.

Mabuda’s Mission: Provide, Protect, Prosper.

• Provide nutrition for the people of the Lubombos.
• Prosper the Lubombos through employment, skills development, and discipleship.
