Independent kingdom in southeast Africa, between South Africa and Mozambique, which has been a member of the *Commonwealth since 1968. The Swazi people, who had moved into the area in the early 19C, were by the 1880s under the control of the Boer republic of the Transvaal. After the *Boer War the territory was administered by a British High Commissioner, until independence in 1968.
