OSGeo Africa,
I have just put the historic 1:50k topographic series of Eswatini online:
https://eswatini-topo.openstreetmap.org.za/
Use it in QGIS by adding an XYZ layer. Use URL:
https://eswatini-topo.openstreetmap.org.za/layer/sz_dos_topo_50k/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
In other GIS apps XYZ is sometimes called TMS, with a top-left tile origin.
Sorry, but WMS is not supported.
I would greatly appreciate any help purchasing the historic 1:50k
topographic series of Zimbabwe:

Getting these maps online requires a huge amount of work. I cannot
fund this entirely from my "hobby funds". I also greatly appreciate
the assistance from Sibylle Engelhard a Namibian based GIS expert,
with processing the sheets.
My future projects include the historic 1:50k topographic series for
Lesotho and Malawi.
Namibia is already online: https://namibia-topo.openstreetmap.org.za/
Kind regards,
Grant
