Bantu language closely related to Zulu (5)

I believe the answer is:

swazi

(Other definitions for swazi that I've seen before include "Bantu language" , "South African" , "Citizen of a monarchy landlocked within South Africa" , "Native of S. Afr. nation" , "From a landlocked kingdom of southern Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
