kwazulu natal, south africa
by
john simone photography
KwaZulu-Natal is a province of South Africa that was created in 1994 when the Zulu bantustan of KwaZulu ("Place of the Zulu" in Zulu)
and Natal Province were merged. It is located in the southeast of the country, enjoying a long shoreline beside the Indian Ocean and
sharing borders with three other provinces and the countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Lesotho. Its capital is Pietermaritzburg
and its largest city is Durban. It is the 2nd most populous province in South Africa, with slightly fewer residents than Gauteng.
During the 1830s and early 1840s, the northern part of what is now KwaZulu-Natal was occupied by the Zulu Kingdom while the southern
part was, briefly, the Boer republic of Natalia before becoming, in 1843, the British Colony of Natal. KwaZulu remained independent until 1879.
KwaZulu-Natal is the birthplace of many notable figures in South Africa's history, such as Albert Luthuli, the first non-white and
the first person from outside Europe and the Americas to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1960); Pixley ka Isaka Seme, the founder
of the African National Congress (ANC) and South Africa's first black lawyer; John Langalibalele Dube, the ANC's founding president;
Harry Gwala, ANC member and anti-apartheid activist; Jacob Zuma, the former President of South Africa; and Bhambatha,
a 19th-century Zulu chief who became an anti-apartheid icon.
