| Summary | "Adventures in Swaziland: The Story of a South African Boer" by Owen Rowe O'Neil is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the experiences of the author, a young Boer, as he explores Swaziland and interacts with its royal family, particularly focusing on King Buno and Queen Labotsibeni. It provides a vivid account of the culture and complexities of Boer life during the times of migration, conflict, and colonial influences in Southern Africa. The opening of the work sets the stage for the author's journey, beginning with a glimpse into his family's background as Boers in Transvaal, their connection to Swaziland, and the political dynamics at play with the Zulu and Swazi tribes. The narrative introduces Oom Tuys, the author's uncle, who is portrayed as a prominent figure within Swazi politics, involved in delivering tributes to King Buno. This early section highlights the author's youthful aspirations to witness the grandeur of Swaziland, framing his eventual journey as a pivotal moment that intertwines the themes of adventure, cultural encounters, and the stark realities of life during a tumultuous period in South African history.
