There are approximately 60,000 Catholics in Swaziland - around 5% of the total population. The country forms a single diocese - the Diocese of Manzini.[1]

The Catholic Church began in Swaziland in 1913 with the arrivial of Servite missionaries who began work in Mbabane. Two of Swaziland's bishops were born in Swaziland, MandleNkhosi Zwane and Ncamiso Ndlovu.[2]
