Mbabane in Swaziland SWAZILAND swaziland. mbabane Informations and links Mbabane Map Mbabane Photos Mbabane ------------------------------- Mbabane, with an estimated population of 70,000 (2003), is the capital of Swaziland. It is located on the Mbabane River and its tributary the Polingane River in the Mdimba Mountains at 26?19' South, 31?8' East (-26.31667, 31.1333). [1] The town grew after the nation's administrative centre moved from Manzini in 1902. It is also a commercial hub for the surrounding region, while tin and iron are mined nearby. Mbabane's closest border to South Africa is Piggs Peak, and though siSwati is the primary language, English is widespread. Mbabane, and Swaziland itself, thrive on tourism and sugar exports. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) 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.
