Waterford Kamhlaba United World College of Southern Africa (WKUWCSA) is an educational institution outside Mbabane, Eswatini. It is one of 18 international schools and colleges in the United World Colleges educational movement.

Waterford was the first school in southern Africa open to children and youth of all colours. It was started in direct opposition to the apartheid regime in neighboring South Africa. The children of Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, and many others leaders in the struggle against apartheid were educated at the school.

Waterford Kamhlaba was established by Michael Stern in 1963. The school's mission was similar to the philosophy of the UWC movement, and Waterford became the fourth member school of the UWC movement in 1981.^[1] Anthony (Tony) Hatton, for many years an English teacher at Waterford Kamhlaba, wrote an account of the early years of the school.^[2]
