ABSTRACT
The Swazi are a Bantu-speaking people inhabiting a small, strategically located country in southeastern Africa. 1 They are predominantly Nguni in language and culture, although their early admixture with the Sotho, who now inhabit mainly the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and to a lesser extent, the Tsonga, whose home is now Mozambique, has left them with cultural traces of these peoples.
