In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Swaziland.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Swaziland's King Mswati II (1840-1868) was considered the greatest fighting king, having fought competing Zulu tribes and some of his own brothers for the throne. "Swazi" is the anglicized version of his name.
2. The mountains in Swaziland's Malolotja Nature Reserve are among the oldest in the world at 3.6 billion years. The park includes Ngwenya Mountain. The Ngwenya Mine is the oldest known mine, at an age of 43000 years.
3. Once a year, Swaziland holds a fertility festival and reed dance called umhlanga. During the week-long festival, over 25,000 unmarried girls of the kingdom dress in elaborate costume and sing and dance before the Queen Mother, giving the King an opportunity to choose a new wife. King Mswati III of Swaziland has 15 wives and 23 children.
4. Swaziland is almost completely surrounded by the larger country of South Africa, only sharing its eastern border with Mozambique.
5. Swaziland has two capital cities. Mbabane is the administrative, officially recognized capital, while Lobamba is the royal and legislative capital.
6. Swaziland surpassed Botswana as having the highest HIV prevalence rate in the world, with an estimated 210,000 people out of its 1.2 million population, or 27.73% living with HIV or AIDS.
7. Contact with the British came early in Mswati’s reign, when he asked British authorities in South Africa for assistance against Zulu raids into Swaziland. It also was during Mswati’s reign that the first whites settled in the country. Following Mswati’s death, the Swazis reached agreements with British and South African authorities over a range of issues, including independence, claims on resources by Europeans, administrative authority, and security. South Africans administered the Swazi interests from 1894 to 1902. In 1902 the British assumed control.

[@SebastiansFacts]

[@thembinkosih5957]

Update the facts and add the other parts the LAND of eSwatini that are still in South African territory and conduct interviews to get more accurate information than what you have established which appears no factual infact.

[@khethanox2350]

[@TheBadgerbruin]

Check out the story of how culture changes in Eswatini due to AIDS in the new book "Funeral Culture": www.iupress.indiana.edu/product_info.php?products_id=809261. Eswatini is an awesome collaborator in the global fight to end the disease, and it's under control. Beautiful place to visit and play!
