 Under pressure from royal non-cooperation, this proclamation was revised in 1952 to grant the Swazi paramount chief a degree of autonomy unprecedented in British indirect rule in Africa.Also in 1921, after more than twenty years of the regency headed by Queen Regent Labotsibeni, Sobhuza II became "Ingwenyama" (lion) or head of the Swazi nation.In the early years of indirect rule, the British expected that Swaziland would eventually be incorporated into South Africa.
