This is how Swazis live. Growing maize in the fields, raising the cattle and goats in the grazing land.

This is in Shiselweni known as the powerful region. This is where Swaziland (kaNgwane) was founded:

Swazis love their culture, their language and history. However some of these ways are not as common as they used to be because of the modern way of life. But Swazis try to preserve these through many different ways. We also incorporate our old traditions to our modern way of living hence making Swazi culture progressive. Here are a few more pictures that illustrate what Swazi people do.

The traditional Swazi homestead is built using grass and sticks, floors are made using fresh cow dung. They are also built in the form of rondavels.
Building these houses requires a very skilled person, from picking the grass, to the design and construction of the house.

DIRTY AGAME NEGROES

eSwatini means "in Swaziland"

very weird but still interesting.
oh and forgive my ignorance, but i can't remember but isn't eSwatini (that really does ring nicely in my anglophone ears) the one ruled by that idiot?

eSwatini is Swaziland, and the king is rather... erm... insensitive, sending his many wives on shopping outings to Europe.
