contents <p>This study addresses a current research gap in African Studies concerning Digital Inclusion and the Digital Divide in Rural African Communities in Eswatini. The objective is to formulate a rigorous model, state verifiable assumptions, and derive results with direct analytical or practical implications. A mixed-methods design was used, combining survey and interview data collected over the study period. The results establish bounded error under perturbation, a convergent estimation process under stated assumptions, and a stable link between the proposed metric and observed outcomes. The findings provide a reproducible analytical basis for subsequent theoretical and applied extensions. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency. Digital Inclusion and the Digital Divide in Rural African Communities, Eswatini, Africa, African Studies, mixed methods study This work contributes a formal specification, transparent assumptions, and mathematically interpretable claims.</p>
