Ntshekane

Ntshekane lies by a small stream that joins the Mpofana in the Tugela basin. Long before the rise of the Zulu kingdom, farming communities lived in this valley and made distinctive pottery. At Ntshekane vessels from different traditions were placed together in the same pits, preserving evidence of contact between communities during a time of change in the region. The river valley forms part of a landscape of hills and fertile ground used by generations of farmers.
