The Kingdom of Swaziland is a small, landlocked country in Southern Africa
(one of the smallest on the continent), situated on the eastern slope
of the Drakensberg mountains, embedded between South Africa in the west
and Mozambique in the east. The country is named after the Swazi, a Bantu
tribe. Swaziland offers a wide variety of landscapes, from the mountains along
the Mozambican border to savannas in the east and rainforest in the northwest.
Several rivers flow through the country, such as the Lusutfu River. With
50,000 inhabitants, the capital city - Mbabane - is the largest town in
the nation; others include Manzini, Lobamba and Siteki. In this small, landlocked economy, subsistence agriculture occupies
more than 80% of the population. The manufacturing sector has diversified
since the mid-1980s. Sugar and wood pulp remain important foreign exchange
earners. Mining has declined in importance in recent years with only coal
and quarry stone mines remaining active. Swaziland is surrounded by South
Africa, except for a short border with Mozambique, |
