  1. Swaziland is a constitutional monarchy and the throne is passed by hereditary. The head of state is the king, currently King Mswati III, who ascended to the throne after the death (in 1982) of his father King Sobhuza II, in 1986. By tradition, the king reigns along with his mother (the Indlovukazi, "Great She-Elephant"), the former viewed as the administrative head of state and the latter as a spiritual and national head of state.

    As the monarch, the king not only appoints the prime minister — the head of government — but also appoints a small number of representatives for both chambers of the Libandla (parliament). The Senate consists of 30 members, while the House of Assembly has 65 seats, 55 of which are occupied by elected representatives (elections are held every five years in November).


  2. Swaziland is a monarchy. The crown passes from father to son.

    By tradition, the king reigns along with his mother ( the "Indlovukazi", lit. Great She-Elephant), the former viewed as the administrative head of state, and the latter as a spiritual and national head of state.

    The king appoints the prime minister and members of parliament.

  3. Since Swaziland is a monarchy, the leader is hereditary. Currently, it is King MSWATI III (since 25 April 1986)

    The "head" of government is Prime Minister Absolom Themba DLAMINI (since 14 November 2003). The prime minister is appointed by the monarch from among the elected members of the House of Assembly

    The Cabinet is recommended by the prime minister and confirmed by the monarch

    Hope this helps.
