Around Manzini, Swaziland largest town

Manzini is the largest town in Swaziland, situated in the centre of the country. During the time of administration by the Boers at the time of the Anglo-Boer War at the end of the 19th Century, is was the seat of administration and known by its Afrikaner name of Bremersdorp. The town is about 30 km to the south east of the capital Mbabane, in the Middleveld at an altitude of about 600 m. About 12 km south west from Manzini is Matsapha, the site of Swaziland's international airport and an industrial estate with, among others, a fruit cannery, a brewery (Swazi Lager) and a tractor factory.

Around Manzini are the homesteads and farms of the Swazi and young boys can be seen looking after their father's cattle along the roads. About 20 km south of Manzini is the small town of Sidvokodvo which has a railway station on the line that leads from the iron mine at Ngwenya, in the west of the country, to Maputo harbour in Mozambique. The train only transports iron ore.
