Sezela is a small town with a big sugar mill in Kwazulu Natal on the mouth of iSezela River in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In 1828, Shaka hunted down a man-eating crocodile here called iSezela meaning the one who smells out, for it was said that it hunted like a wild dog following a trail. http://www.southcoasthappenings.co.za/scottburghhomepage.htm The river and town are named after the crocodile.
The mill in the town was the first one built in South Africa.
Sezela is also home to Massam's Confectionery
