Eswatini

We also travel through Eswatini, stopping only at Hlane Royal National Park. It thus joins the Gambia, Congo-Kinshasa, and Mozambique.

Africa's last absolute kingdom. A royal family living in luxury, where many concubines and their children must be equipped with the trappings of power, such as luxury cars. A population of around 1.2 million lives in poverty. After Gambia, it is the second smallest country on the continent. Heavily indebted and economically dependent on South Africa. Its most important agricultural export is sugarcane, or rather, sugar, at the expense of a population working under terrible conditions.

Interestingly, however, since apartheid, the African headquarters of Cocal-Cola has been located here, and the concentrate for almost all of its production facilities in Africa is produced here.
