12 African Countries with the Largest White Population

10. Swaziland

White Population: 41,000

Contrary to the previous two countries whose white population came from the Great Britain, Swaziland was actually first colonized by the Portuguese, and today’s white population mostly consists of descendants of Portuguese who originally settled in the country. It all started sometime in the 1840s, and the first contact with Europeans was actually with Dutch Trekboers, who reached the western hinterland of Swaziland. In the following several years, about 300 Boer families had settled, but it could not go without British since Swaziland also became a British protectorate afterward.
