Marwick, (1955) lebekanguKhomishani eSwatini ngemavi akhe uyibeka atsi
lendzaba:
The private ownership of land was unknown amongst them (the
Swazis), and indeed throughout the Bantu world before the
advent of the white man. The dominion in the land was vested
in the whole nation and belonged also to the generations to
follow; only the control of the use of it was in the hands of their
ruler.
Such use might be given to anybody so long as the land was
not needed by members of the tribe, and it was in the power of
the ruler to vary his grants of land and even to cancel them for
good cause arising from the behaviour of the grantees and
from the needs of his people.
(Marwick 1955:11).
