Swazi (sh)




or Swati

Bantu-speaking people inhabiting the grasslands of Swaziland and neighbouring regions of South Africa and Mozambique.

With the Zulu and the Xhosa, the Swazi (numbering more than two million) form the southern Nguni ethnolinguistic group. They are chiefly agriculturalists and pastoralists. The highest traditional political, economic, and ritual powers are shared by a hereditary male ruler and his mother. The king's wives and children are settled in royal villages, diplomatically dispersed throughout the territory.
