Chief of Embhuleni (also Inkosi of Embhuleni) is the title for the head of Embhuleni, an eSwatini royal village located in South Africa's Mpumalanga province. The authority is called Embhuleni Traditional Council[1], and is represented in the South African House of Traditional Leaders. The official residence of the Chief of Embhuleni is in Badplaas, and the current chief is Prince Cambridge Makhosonke Dlamini[2], one of Prince Mkolishi Dlamini's children. The royal village was built by Mswati II in c.1842 as a military post to safeguard eSwatini land against possible invasion by the Bapedi. The first house of the Embhuleni royal family was built in Tjakastad on the foot of Mkhingoma Mountain. Mswati II's regiments were subjected to the rule of his wife, Nandzi 'LaMagadlela' Khumalo.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
