Major infrastructure systems in most countries around the world will glide into the new year without serious breakdowns related to the Y2K computer dating problem, according to the International Y2K Cooperation Center. ...

Uncertainty is the hallmark of Y2K. Because it is a unique event in human history, no one can say what will happen. For this reason, governments are preparing for Y2K as for a major emergency, even though the likelihood of serious, acute problems is low.

Although some dissent with the government exists, laid-back Swazis are more likely to celebrate for fun than demonstrate for reform. Archeologists have discovered human remains in eastern Swaziland dating back 110,000 years, but the Swazi people arrived only relatively recently. During the great Bantu migration into southern Africa, one clan of the Nguni settled around modern Maputo in Mozambique.
