by JACK HALPERN
Tomorrow the Swaziland protectorate attains its independence, the last of three enclaves in the Republic of South Africa to cut loose from Britain's apron-strings and to try to live on its own terms in the overwhelming shadow of the ' apartheid ' state. Swaziland has huge mineral resources and a large investment of British and South African money. But it starts also with an anomalous system of government.
Jack Halpern Is the author of South Africa's Hostages, which deals with the history and future of Swaziland, Botswana and Lesotho.
