The Making, Unmaking and Remaking of Africa’s Independence and Post-Independence Constitutions
The Making of Eswatini’s Independence Constitution and the Triumph of Traditionalism and Modernity
Towards Unpacking the Origin and Development of Eswatini (Swazi) Irredentism
This article sets out to examine the origin and development of Eswatini irredentism in southern Africa as a neglected theme in African scholarship. Eswatini irredentist disputes, albeit unresolved, have been a subject of mere peripheral allusion in southern African scholarship. The global importance of irredentism as a phenomenon in international relations since the end of the Cold War makes this study imperative. How the smallest and landlocked …
Towards Understanding the Cameroon-Nigeria and the Eswatini-South African Border Dispute through the Prism of the Principle of uti possidetis juris Customary International Law
This article examines the Cameroon-Nigeria and Eswatini-South Africa border disputes from a comparative perspective within the framework of the doctrine of uti possidetis juris in customary international law. Extant scholarly works on these two border disputes have not been sufficiently cogent to enable an evaluation of the relevance and shortcomings of uti possidetis juris. The study methodology is qualitative and includes archival and newspaper…

King Sobhuza II considered whites and South Africa as the pivot of Eswatini’s economy and therefore advocated special politica…
Leadership and gender in Eswatini
This article examines the history of female leadership in contemporary Eswatini politics through the prism of Gelane Simelane Zwane as a neglected aspect of scholarship. Gelane Simelane Zwane doubled as the longest-serving female Chief of Kontshingila village and Senate President of Eswatini in recent history. This article is premised on the fact that Zwane’s leadership odyssey was shaped by the intersection of gender and culture. A qualitative m…
Photographs as Complementary Sources of the History of Swaziland
This article posits a case for the inclusion and utilisation of photographs as vital and illustrative sources of history in certain scholarly articles. Taking cues from scholars of this school of thought, the author critically exploits the photographs of the stakeholders of Swaziland's independence constitution as important historical sources that illuminated and enriched the history of Swaziland's pre-independence constitutional processes. Altho…
