Land Rovers with 16 mm movie
projectors in the back and portable screens were sent out to remote regions to
show the benefits of modernisation. This is at Sidwashini in the Lomati Valley,
there was a poor turnout, a soap company was doing the same thing nearby, but
showing a movie of dancing girls.

The main street of the capital,
Allister Miller Street. Miller, an early colonialist, was despised by the
Swazi, it is a sign of their tolerance that the name of the street has never
been changed.

In the early sixties there was labour
unrest at Havelock Mine. The Resident Commissioner, Brian Marwick, feared
widespread civil disruption and called in the British Army, much to the
derision of the white settlers who thought him cowardly. The Gordon Highlanders
arrived, fresh from dealing with the Mau-Mau in Kenya, but saw no action in
Swaziland. Instead of fighting they took part in military displays, saluted the
flag, and fathered a generation of coloured children.
