Havelock, town on the northwest border of Swaziland. Located in the Highveld, it is the site of one of the world’s largest asbestos mines. Operations began in the 1930s, and asbestos was Swaziland’s economic mainstay until the 1950s, when agricultural products began to play an equally important role. The town and mine are dominated by Bulembu (Emlembe), Swaziland’s highest peak (6,109 feet [1,862 metres]). Pop. (1997) 2,443.
