| Abstract: | The spatial pattern of landholding generated in Swaziland by the 1908 partition was a function of a policy which presupposed the expediency of cultural, social and economic domination of the Swazi by a white settler class. An examination of the background to the partition and the explicit and implicit principles deployed in its implementation highlights the existence of an underlyingset of criteria deeply empathetic to the notions of white settler metropolotan capital control over Swazi land and labour, and closely according with the interests of promoting capitalist forms of agricultural production, and with the integration of the Swazi into such modes.
