Eswatini’s Independence Day on September 6 celebrates its liberation from British colonial rule in 1968. Located between South Africa and Mozambique, Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is a small but vibrant kingdom with a distinct position in the world.

With a population of over 1.2 million, Eswatini is one of Africa’s smallest countries, covering 17,364 square kilometers. The kingdom’s governance is centered in Mbabane, the administrative capital, while Lobamba serves as the royal and legislative center. King Mswati III, who has ruled since 1986, holds all executive, legislative, and judicial powers, supported by a prime minister and parliament.

The country’s varied landscape—from the Highveld and Middleveld to the Lowveld and Lubombo plateau—offers stunning scenery that attracts visitors to its game reserves and national parks. Eswatini is also known for its vibrant cultural traditions, such as the Umhlanga Reed Dance. This annual eight-day event, held in late August or early September, gathers thousands of unmarried girls and women to honor the Queen Mother and celebrate Swazi heritage.

Economically, Eswatini relies heavily on agriculture, forestry, and mining. The kingdom is working to diversify its economy and attract foreign investment.

On Independence Day, Eswatini hosts official ceremonies, parades, and cultural performances. It’s a day for the people to celebrate their achievements and envision their future. As a member of international organizations such as the United Nations, African Union, and Commonwealth of Nations, Eswatini engages with the global community while maintaining its rich cultural traditions.
