1888 CE to 1899 CE

Swaziland, because of controversial land and mineral rights and other concessions, has a triumviral administration in 1890 following the death of King Mbandzeni in 1889.

This government represents the British, the Dutch republics, and the Swazi people.

In 1894, a convention places Swaziland under the South African Republic as a protectorate.

This continues under the rule of King Ngwane V.

Ngwane V dies in December 1899, during incwala (the main ritual of kingship in the Kingdom of Eswatini, a national event that takes place during the summer solstice), after the outbreak of the Second Boer War.

His successor, Sobhuza II, is four months old.
