Umgababa, KwaZulu-Natal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Umgababa is a rural community area with a large market place for tourists in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It forms part of eThekwini. The uMgababa River (the place of jealousy) enters the ocean at Umgababa. The name is derived from an ancient feud between the Luthuli tribe who used to live in the valley. Litchis are produced in this region. There once was a large titanium mine here but it closed due to serious sea pollution.
