Abstract Trade in slaves was a response to market forces in the world. A culture that developed from trade in slaves extended to future generations whose lives were degraded. Cases of slaves who rose above their social stations in the slave trade era are non-existent. In Swaziland Mswati II used his military to raid for captives whom he sold as slaves to Boers of the Transvaal. When the demand for slaves expanded his soldiers raided on his non-cooperative chiefdoms for captives to be sold to slave traders as punishment for recalcitrance. Such trade was camouflaged to avoid attacks from aggrieved communities. LWATI: A Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 5 2008: pp. 72-84
