Golera is an important border town in the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Swaziland, located in the Ezulwini region and bordering the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. As the main land port connecting Swaziland with South Africa, the town is a key hub for trade and people between the two countries.
Golera is situated on a major transportation route and is surrounded by rich sugar plantations and processing factories, making the sugar industry the mainstay of the local economy. The town has basic services such as banks and markets, and many South African tourists travel to Swaziland through the town. Its border crossings carry a large volume of goods on a daily basis, and active cross-border trade energizes the regional economy.
Golera is close to Swaziland's famous Mlawula Nature Reserve, where visitors can explore African wildlife. The local area retains a traditional Swazi craft market and offers a unique experience of Ngwani culture. Despite its small size, the town's strategic location makes it an important gateway for Swaziland to South Africa.
