Mtubatuba, KwaZulu-Natal

Mtubatuba, KwaZulu-Natal

Mtubatuba is a small town north of Richards Bay close to the entrance of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It was established in a swampland of reeds and papyrus in 1903 and named after the local Zulu chief. The town's early years were hampered by flooding. An additional setback occurred during World War I: a ship carrying essential parts of what was to be the town's first sugar mill was torpedoed. The mill was eventually constructed in 1916 at nearby Riverview. The town is approximately 27km from St Lucia town.
