Manzini Region, Administrative region in central Eswatini.
Manzini Region is the central province of Eswatini, extending across a large territory that borders all other regions and South Africa's Mpumalanga province. It is subdivided into multiple local administrative districts, each governed by traditional leadership structures.
The region's capital was established in 1887 as a trading post and served as the country's first administrative center from 1895 to 1899. It retained its original colonial name until 1960, when it was renamed to reflect local identity.
Traditional leadership remains central to how communities organize daily life and settle local matters in this region. These structures continue to shape social interactions and decision-making across the different administrative areas.
An international airport near the capital provides flight connections for the entire region. Most locations are accessible by road, though traveling to more distant areas may require longer journeys.
The middle altitude zone of the region is an important agricultural area where corn, cotton, tobacco, and livestock are produced. These activities operate alongside industrial facilities that shape the local landscape.
