Mtubatuba
When the railway line was built along the coastal belt to reach Golela on the Swaziland border, a siding was laid out at Mtubatuba.
A large-scale planting of sugar cane in the area, and the construction in 1916 of a crushing mill at nearby Riverview, stimulated development. The name Mtubatuba comes from the chief of the local section of the Zulu nation. He was given the name which means "he who was pummelled out 'on account of the difficulty the midwives experienced at his birth.
There are large plantations of Eucalyptus Myrtaceae trees in the area and roads branch off east to Lake St. Lucia and west to the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve and Nongoma.
