Mbabane is the capital of Swaziland. With a population of 100,000 people (2012 estimate), it is also the largest city in the country, although about equal in size to Manzini. The city is located on the Mbabane River, in the Mdimba Mountains.

Although serving as de facto capital, Mbabane is not the legislative capital, which continues to reside in Lobamba.
