Siyabuswa is a township in South Africa in the province of Mpumalanga (a region formerly called Eastern Transvaal). During the Apartheid era, Siyabuswa was the capital of the KwaNdebele Bantustan.{{Cite web| title=The economic evolution of a former homeland capital: the case of siyabuswa, kwandebele | author=Gladys Jabulile Mahlangu | url=https://wiredspace.wits.ac.za/server/api/core/bitstreams/8bb84680-f79d-4749-9b3a-3b625f2fc9ea/content | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240309112908/https://wiredspace.wits.ac.za/server/api/core/bitstreams/8bb84680-f79d-4749-9b3a-3b625f2fc9ea/content | archive-date=2024-03-09}} It served as a capital from 1981 to 1986 when KwaMhlanga replaced it. Most of its inhabitants (population in 2011: 36,882) are members of the Ndebele ethnic group. Currently, Siyabuswa is home to several ethnic groups, namely the Ndebele, Pedi and Sotho people.{{Cite web | url=https://journals.co.za/doi/pdf/10.10520/AJA0259188X_672 | title=Kwandebele, A Unilateral Declaration of Independence | website=journals.co.za | doi=10.10520/AJA0259188X_672}}
