Matsapha is a town in central Eswatini. The Matsapha urban boundary is defined in the Urban Government Act of 1969, and it was amended in 2012, and it covers an area approximately 2,000 hectares (4,900 acres). Matsapha was established as an industrial park in 1965 but was official gazetted as an urban area in 1969. Matsapha is located in the Upper Middleveld of Eswatini. It is located in the Manzini region, which is in the centre of the country. Matsapha is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) from Manzini, which is the country's commercial capital and is located 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Mbabane, the administrative capital of the country.

It lies at an altitude of 625 metres (2,051 ft) above sea level.

gollark: I quite like this and have now put it into my RSS reader.
gollark: I guess it might be a bit tricky to normalize different spellings etc. but meh.
gollark: I don't mean they'd specify a list of tags, I mean they would just provide titles and the system would magically™ determine (implicit) categories based on like/dislikes overlap.
gollark: It could probably work to have people just provide a list of things they like and how much, and have users specify people whose preferences match theirs to some degree (and to find them automatically via any overlap they do have), and then build a recommender thing out of that.
gollark: You could autotag things if you already had enough samples of good tagging.
