Waterford Kamhlaba United World College is one of the 18 United World Colleges worldwide and one of the most historically significant schools in southern Africa. Located on a hillside about 5 km from the Mbabane city centre, the campus overlooks the surrounding Dlangeni Hills with views across the highveld.
The school was founded in 1963 as a deliberately multiracial institution in a country that bordered apartheid South Africa. Its alumni include children of African heads of state, international students from over 80 countries, and Swazi students on scholarship. The campus is not a standard tourist sight, but its story — and the landscape setting — make it worth knowing about. The school occasionally hosts public cultural events.
