KaNgwane

Former national state or non-independent black homeland in Natal province, South Africa; self-governing status, 1971; incorporated into KwaZulu Natal following the South African constitution of 1994.

KaNgwane was a bantustan in South Africa, intended by the apartheid government to be a semi-independent homeland for the Swazi people. Formerly called the "Swazi Territory", the homeland was granted nominal self-rule in 1981.

An attempt to transfer parts of the homeland to the neighboring (genuinely independent) country of Swaziland in 1982 failed following protests. The homeland's territory had been claimed by King Sobhuza of Swaziland as part of the Swazi monarchs' traditional realm, and the South African government hoped to use the homeland as a buffer zone against guerrilla infiltration from Mozambique.

Unlike the other homelands in South Africa, KaNgwane did not adopt a distinctive flag of its own and flew the then national flag of South Africa.
