King Mswati III.
King Mswati III came to power in 1986.
The reason for renaming was given by King Mswati III because the name Swaziland was often mistaken for Switzerland (Switzerland) in international transactions. It is expected that Swaziland's new name will be eSwatini and mark the first half of the century that the country gained independence from British colonialism.
King Mswati III announced the renaming of the country at a large stadium. He said that he did not want Swaziland to be mistaken for Switzerland again. King Mswati III said: ' Whenever we go abroad, people think we are Swiss'.
Unlike many other African countries that gained independence, Swaziland retained this name from 1968 until now.'African countries often take the name from ancient times after gaining independence. So from today, I declare the Swaziland nation will be called the Kingdom of eSwatini '.
King Mswati III was enthroned in 1986 at the age of 18. He was the one who wasted money despite this country, the poorest in Africa. In Swaziland, political parties are not allowed to vote, and only royally selected candidates can participate in the public system.
Swaziland has about 1.3 million people and also has the highest HIV prevalence rate in the world with 27% of adults with HIV.
