evidence: As a matter of fact, Swaziland, recently renamed eSwatini and previously known as KaNgwane, meaning "the country of place of Ngwane" was named after him. His followers also referred to themselves as bakaNgwane. Swazis, till date, alternatively use these names to refer to their country and themselves. [...] When Ngwane III succeeded his father, armed territorial conflicts with other Nguni clans, which he managed to withstand for a while, forced him to lead his people to the northern side of the Pongola River, thus making the bakaNgwane the founders of modern Swaziland. After settling, he declared Zombodze as the royal capital of bakaNgwane. Keep in mind that the Incwala, a Kingship ritual and one of the most important cultural ceremonies in eSwatini were first celebrated in Zombodze.
