A report on Eswatini and Swazi people

The Swazi or siSwati language is a Bantu language of the Nguni group spoken in Eswatini and South Africa by the Swati people.

Countries commonly included in Southern Africa include Angola, Botswana, the Comoros, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Due to the Bantu expansion which edged the previous native African peoples to the more remote areas of the region, the majority of African ethnic groups in this region, including the Xhosa, Zulu, Tsonga, Swazi, Northern Ndebele, Southern Ndebele, Tswana, Sotho, Northern Sotho, Shona people, Mbundu, Ovimbundu, Shona, Chaga and Sukuma, speak Bantu languages.

Umhlanga, or Reed Dance ceremony, is an annual Swazi event.

In Eswatini, tens of thousands of unmarried and childless Swazi girls and women travel from the various chiefdoms to the Ludzidzini Royal Village to participate in the eight-day event.

He was also the eponym of Eswatini.

The death of Mswati II ended the era of Swazi conquest, territorial expansion and unification of various peoples into one nation.

Ngwane III was King of Eswatini from 1745 to 1780.

This name is still used today and the Swazi people use this name to refer to themselves as a people.

The president of the ZAR, Burgers led an army of 2000 burghers and was joined by a strong force of Swazi warriors.

Seeing this, the Swazis refused to hand over to the Boers any spoils from the battle, thereafter leaving and returning to Swaziland.
