Aevamo’s reading
Section 4(1) of the Immigration Act 1982 creates the obligation: no person other than a citizen of Swaziland shall enter Swaziland unless in possession of a valid entry permit or pass. The Act is the instrument that imposes the requirement; the ministry's visa list and the regulations' Sixth Schedule describe who is exempt from the visa prerequisite, not the requirement itself.
The High Commission's visa page states that entry visas are required from all except nationals of the listed countries, and every issuer in this row is one of those listed nationalities, so its passport holders do not need a visa in advance. The enumeration as printed also names Burkina Faso and Iceland; both are carried on the visa-required row (vr-list) instead, because the Ministry of Home Affairs' own country table marks them Y under 'Visa required (Y=yes N=no)' and the ministry's current visa page makes that table the determinant of who must apply - see listConflicts.

How the documents behind this regime are dated
mha-visa-list carries no date on the page itself; it still lists "YUGUSLAVIA" and "SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO", indicating content last updated c.2003-2006. eswatini-kul-visa shows "2024-11-28T16:32:40+08:00" as its last update. gov-sz-visa-page carries no date. The Immigration Act 1982 commenced 1st March 1987; the Immigration Regulations 1987 commenced 1st March 1987.
What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
