Lobamba is Eswatini's traditional and legislative capital, while Mbabane serves as the administrative capital. Lobamba hosts the royal residence area and the Parliament of Eswatini, so it deserves its own time reference even though its population is modest. Eswatini uses South Africa Standard Time (SAST, UTC+2) year-round and does not observe daylight saving. The page is best understood as a ceremonial-legislative capital clock rather than a largest-city page.
