ABSTRACT
Swazi in the Transvaal petitioned, in 1932, for the boundaries defined in 1881 to be reconsidered so that they would again be an integral part of Swaziland and recognised as subjects of Sobhuza. Swazi subjects from Natal still bring him occasional tribute, and have asked him to settle cases of inheritance and land disputes. But there is little doubt that his powers over these distant subjects is greatly diminished, and the existence in the Union of inter-tribal political, economic and religious organisations, e.g. African Democratic Party, African National Congress, African Trade Unions, is substituting African nationalism for Swazi loyalties. The majority of Swazi are opposed to the incorporation of Swaziland in the Union, and in this they are supported by other Africans outside the Territory.
