" In the tracks of the Swazi past takes a journey back into the precolonial history of the people who live in Swaziland today. It starts at the traditional capital of modern Swaziland and proceeds eastwards to the Lubombo Mountains, the home of the peoples such as the Nyawo, the Mngometulu and others. the text explains the origins of these peoples and relates how they came to settle along the Lubombo.
The tour continues south into modern South Africa to pick up the story of the migration of the Dlamini people into the rich Phongolo Valley and details their conflict with the mighty Ndwandwe kingdom. It passes the early royal sites of Ngwane IV, the initial founder of the Swazi kingdom, and looks at the circumstances under which he was joined by peoples like the Mkhonta, Nsibandze, Mdluli and others. It then follows the path of the flight of ngwane's grandson, Sobhuza I, after he abandoned southern Swaziland in the face of Ndwandwe attacks.
Finally the tour returns to the heartland of the Swazi kingdom to visit sites of historical significance in the process of the consolidation of the Swazi kingdom under Sobhuza I."
