Swaziland is a wonderful and amazing state located in southern Africa. The African continent is still largely a mystery to European residents.
Swaziland is a state that combines the traditions of Aboriginal and Europeans. Locals, swazi, are held in high esteem. The government is doing everything to ensure that their family flourishes for as long as possible, and does not disappear from the face of the Earth. As for religion, the majority of local residents still adhere to Christianity, and not traditional beliefs for swazi. However, both religions are equally respected.
Swaziland has two capitals, and so far it is difficult to single out the more official of them. The capital of Swaziland Mbabane has administrative significance. Here is a government building, most banks, various business institutions. It is impossible to say unequivocally that it will be interesting for a tourist to stay here, however it is still worth a walk along the incredibly beautiful streets. Certain kinds of sights can be considered the modern streets of Mbabane Alley, New Alley and Allister Miller. Of particular interest is the history of the emergence of Allister Miller Street. She was named after the first European born in Swaziland. His homeland was the capital of Swaziland Mbabane.
In addition, it is worth visiting Swazi Square - a huge shopping complex. There you can buy a variety of gizmos for a moderate fee. By the way, goods in Swaziland are much cheaper than in other African countries.
Also in Mbabane is the National University.
The second capital of Swaziland is Lobamba. It can be called a real treasury of cultural heritage, which keeps Swaziland. This city is the location of the king’s residence, in addition, the country's highest legislative body, a bicameral parliament, sits here. We can say that those decisions about the political system in the country that the government makes in Mbabane are approved in Lobamba. Lobamba reflects the culture, features of the country. No joke, here you can even meet the king! For this, Lobamba is revered as the capital: Swaziland, therefore, has two of them.
In Lwamba, the Inkwala ceremony and Umlang dance are held. At such events you can see the king. And not just to see, but to catch participating in folk dances. Does every state boast of this?
If you want to explore the culture of the locals, you should visit the National Museum, which displays all the customs of the natives. In addition, here you can study the culture of the country from beginning to end. Such a place as the Cultural Village is also noteworthy. It shows the conditions in which the locals lived and how they currently live. Lobamba - a real highlight of the state, the cultural center of the state of Swaziland. The capital of the country, of equal importance to Mbabane, is the most attractive place for tourists and those who are interested in the peoples of Africa.
Swaziland is thus a unique state. After all, two cities are immediately revered as the capital of Swaziland.
