I live in Swaziland town of Manzini... Swazis wear either traditional or modernday clothing. Men's traditional clothing consists of a colorful cloth "skirt" covered by an emajobo (leather apron). Adornments on ceremonial occasions include the ligcebesha (neckband), umgaco (ties), and sagibo (walking stick). Royalty wear ligwalagwala (red feathers). Women's traditional clothing consists of an ilihhiya (cloth). Married women cover their upper torsos and sometimes wear traditional "beehive" hairstyles. Single women sometimes wear only beads over their upper torsos, particularly on ceremonial occasions.
