Origin of the Swazi People?

by David K. Mlotshwa
(Barberton, Mpumalanga province, South Africa)


Is it true that the Dlamini clan in present-day Swaziland originated from the Embu region in Kenya and migrated south towards Maputo?

I am interested in visiting the area in order to see and compare the Swazi way of life.

I know scientists are more and more able to give ashtonishing information about somebody's forefathers through DNA, and through this they can also reconstruct how peoples moved in earlier ages.

But I'm not a scientist so I can't comment on this particular case.
