What's our beautiful people? It's a boy Mr. Garner baby right here in the National Museum of S1 Taney but you know what I discovered after traveling 16 African countries I realized that personally I don't even know my African history. So what I'm gonna do is that every country that go to we need to know how that country is formed and since I'm in Switzerland this is the first ever episode we want to know how the kingdom of Switzerland I'm not sure I'm sorry we want to know how the kingdom of S1 Taney came into existence and you know that I always traveled to that and I'm gonna do this by myself. I go a beautiful swazzy I mean a beautiful swazzy woman and I will tell the artist to tell us how we need to know. My name is Maya and nice to meet you. Thank you this is Palliwe Laminne and the museum Can you please educate us on how the kingdom of S1 Taney was formed? Okay what I can say is you see there is no spending the period is not accurately being exagered but all what you know is that the the Maswati they originated from Central Africa and I can say is is not just the Maswati they wouldn't claim which end up occupying the whole part of the Southern Africa that includes the Maswati. So for this country to become swaz land I would say is what Dini in other words it actually existed in the 80s and centuries like in the 14th centuries but officially it was called the Kingdom of S1 Taney in 17th centuries so that means that doesn't mean there was nothing happening before that but the kings were regarded as Paramount Chiefs yet we did have other Chiefs it currently happening even today we've got Chiefs we then have the Kings. We started having Chiefs and Paramount Chiefs by that time the Paramount Chiefs were regarded as the King until the 17th centuries were by officially occupied they can't really belong to the Maswati. So the ingunis occupied the S1 Taney. The Southern part of Africa. The Southern part of Africa not just so the Swazis are part and part of the ingunis people. So when the Swati came into this land were there people in here? Yes. One of the people in our area. There were also the minis but there are those that came before because the laminis who allowed the kings the genology of the kings they then submitted under them because they were big and they did not fight them but they made peace with them. Yes. There were just small clans but the lamini clan was very big. So if I should understand it's the lamini people who are ruling the country. Yes. That is the Royalty. Amazing. So when did this kind of had its independence? In September the 6th 1968. So when they had independence who was the King of the Attras? That's the King so who's the second that is the father of the current King. So he actually helped the country to gain its independence from we actually get a protectorate from the British, from the years coloniser we colonised by the British by then. Okay. So after the country gained its independence the King ruled for how long? He then passed on in 1980. 1981 from the St. John. And then after and then during that period and then there was Queen Regent that we still holding up the position of the King of Swati to the throne. I'm kind of confused in here if the father was King what? Okay what I can say is if by that particular period the King passes on and there is that crown a king still in infant. So he will be actually led to grow up until the time when he will be ready to go to the throne. So in that particular period the Queen mother will care on ruling the country because the King and the Queen mother are the head of states. So it seems there's something that I don't understand. You mentioned the name of the King who passed on. That is King Sopuza. King Sopuza. That is the father of the current King. And the current King is called in Swati the third. That is why the change of a name if that's the father. That is actually not for us to know why the changes the type is but the same name is the same. It's the type that is the father. So in Swati is actually not the same name. No it's the type of the King. Oh wow. Do you know the realm name of the King? Yes. What is the realm name of the King? I mean like the name of the nation. I'm really shocked. I don't know this. I told the name of the King is Swati. That's not for it. That's not for it. So like you are the city over to for your own. You see. Amazing. Amazing. So like so far how many kings of this country are? Since 17th century up to today we had nine but that doesn't mean that before 17th century we are no kings. No I can't but I know that many. They were all that many kings. They were all that many kings. So because it started with their name and then were name and then it went on and on up today. Up today. Yes. But different tackles they are all your name. So that means the father was the same and then the sons they... So it's like a lineage coming in the genealogy. Yes. Amazing. You know like before I let you go and I have one question that so many people are asking me because we all know that this kingdom to be called a kingdom of what? A kingdom of what? A swath of? A swath of the land. Yes. But now it's called the kingdom of a swathini. Why the change of the name? What I can say is it has been a swathini. I would say it has to do with the influence of the British colony. Because for us it's called a swathini. But because we are being colonized by the British they put in any pronounceable swathini. But it has always been that since the past three years we have been making the kit to be officially hold according the way it's supposed to be. So if I should understand a swathini is the swathi wet? Yes. For swathi. You can say like that. But for us we are a swathi. The kind is a swathini for the a swathi people. So it's not swathing for swaths of them. So that means it's not like you are holding it. It's our vernacular language. So the king was correcting what was wrong. So it's just that it's been long long swathed of which you used to get used to that. But it's the correct way of calling the real us. So from today I hope most of you understand that they actually did not change the name. Because I think when I was in China I remember I did a video about it. They said I thought they said it's a swathi that colonized wet. I was saying that if swathi is a colonized wet, which means the name Africa should be changed. Because Africa is also named by colonizing. You know it's a guy in the baby right here in the kingdom of his swathini. I've learned so much today and I hope you also learned something today. Is there any question that you want to ask? I'm still in the country. So leave a comment to let me know what you want to know. And if I have to come back and ask more questions I will do that. Do you want to say anything to people watching us out there? I would say please come and visit a swathi in the kingdom. It's a beautiful country. The people are loving and there is more to see about how a swathi are living. We are a country that is rich in our culture. And I have observed that other countries they have like the culture is fading away. For us it is still strong and vibrant. So come and enjoy this swathi in the kingdom. Thank you. I forgot to ask you. So which means it's only one tribe in this country? Yes. You speak one language which is swathi and the second language is also official. And language that is English. We've got only two official languages. And it's one big family. It's one big family. And it's just one family. And we are somehow related. Exactly. Yes. Let's go to school. To each other. If you go back to the history of your father was it? You see? Yes. Thank you so much for talking to me. It's my pleasure. It's my pleasure. Thank you. Thank you.
