Big Bend in Swaziland SWAZILAND swaziland. big-bend Informations and links Big Bend![]() ![]() Map Big Bend Photos Big Bend ------------------------------- As it suggests this lies on a big bed in the Usuthu River where it meets the Lubombo mountains. The area is picturesque with views from surrounding hills across the river and a wildly beautiful gorge through the mountains. The big bend in the river made it ideal for irrigation of a large area of low lying bush which heralded it as a centre for sugar production. Autonomy for the Swazis of southern Africa was guaranteed by the British in the late 19th century; independence was granted in 1968. Student and labor unrest during the 1990s pressured the monarchy (one of the oldest on the continent) to grudgingly allow political reform and greater democracy. Swaziland recently surpassed Botswana as the country with the world's highest known rates of HIV/AIDS infection.
