Former name for the Kingdom of Eswatini (9)

I believe the answer is:

swaziland

(Other definitions for swaziland that I've seen before include "Country in SE Africa" , "Southern African kingdom, capital Mbabane" , "Southern African country, capital Mbabane" , "South African region" , "territory that's in Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
