Colonial administrators, indigenous leaders, and missionaries
The study of Swazi historical affairs in the colonial period has remained patchy. The historian is confronted by numerous gaps that make it difficult to get a comprehensive view of the development of the history of the country during this period. One of the neglected subjects is the nature of the relations between indigenous rulers who were allowed to exercise some authority by the British policy of Indirect Rule, colonial administrators, and mis…
Economic remittances from employment in the Second World War and family conflicts, Swaziland, 1941-1950
Swaziland was connected to the Allied conduct of the Second World War through colonial ties and about four thousand Swazi men were recruited to serve in the war. Historians are beginning to analyse the different ways in which Swazi society was shaped and probably changed by the events of the war. However, no research has been conducted to show how Swazi civilians were affected by the events of the war and how they responded. This article contribu…
The colonial experience, indigenous leaders and the capitalization of the Swazi monarchy
Historians and other researchers have analysed different aspects of Swazi historical affairs. One of the themes that has attracted academic attention is that of continuity and change, especially under the impact of colonialism. In spite of this attention, the institution of monarchy has been scantily investigated in terms of the extent to which it was transformed through the adoption of colonial economic values. In those instances where the monar…
The Colonial State and the Political Economy of Famine in Swaziland, 1943–1945
African countries have experienced the occurrence of famine at different times in their history. Researchers have analysed these famines and have developed theories to explain their causes and the socio-economic dislocations they have unleashed. However, not all African countries have benefitted from such academic attention. Swaziland has experienced famine at different times but no study has been conducted to analyse the intensity of the famines…
The Swazi Monarchy and the Poor Performance of the Swazi Anti-Corruption Agency, 2006-2009
One of the major problems that has faced African countries since political independence has been continued poverty that has affected the lives of the populations of the countries. While there are numerous issues behind African poverty, corruption has emerged as one of the critical drivers. To address the problem of corruption African governments have been forced to experiment with different strategies, one of which has been the establishment of a…
Colonial Policy, Male Opposition, and the Integration of Swazi Women into Wage Employment, 1935–1955
Colonialism entailed numerous changes in Swazi socio-economic configurations, including a growing recourse to waged employment. Yet little is known about the dynamics that drove indigenous Swazi women to work for wages. This article argues that colonial policy, by adversely impacting areas of production involving Swazi people, drove women to seek wage employment. Moreover, this was not a smooth process, but a contested issue. Swazi men, chiefs, t…
Sharing my bed with the enemy’
Colonialism produced numerous changes in Swazi socio-economic configurations as society was forced to respond to political and economic policies imposed by the colonial regime. These changes did not only inform colonial developments but had a profound bearing on post-colonial developments. One of these changes was the integration of Swazi women into wage employment in response to the growth of capitalist economic enterprises. Research on this dev…
Security for All? Politics, Economy & the Growth of Private Security in Swaziland
Like many other African countries, Swaziland has in recent years experienced a rapid growth of various private security initiatives. In urban areas, security privatisation manifests itself in the form of a mushrooming of formal private security companies, while in rural areas, where the majority of people live, informal Community Police groups operating outside the control and recognition of the public police provide protection against crime. Thi…

The State, Chiefs and the Control of Female Migration in Colonial Swaziland, C . 1930s–1950s
Human migration has played an important role in the construction or dissolution of states in southern Africa. With the coming of the colonial period there was an intensification of the process of migration, mainly for work. Such movements were premised on the uneven development of colonial economies in which some areas became suppliers of labour while others became labour markets. In the case of Swaziland, the migration of labour was dominated by…

Male labor migration in southern Swaziland contributed to progress and rural development for rich and po…

This paper is a contribution to the study of the land ‘ question in Swaziland and it concentrates on the period between 1938 and 1950. The paper focuses on the manner in which Br…
