Independence Day is a national holiday in
Swaziland. On this day in 1968, Swaziland became self-governing after having been ruled by
Britain since 1903. This national holiday was also known as Somhlolo Day or Sobhuza Day, named after
Sobhuza II (1899-1982), king of Swaziland from 1921 until his death. In 1973, he disregarded the constitution passed upon independence and assumed supreme power.
