Umngazi

The Mngazi River reaches the Indian Ocean south of the Mzimvubu, in a coast of wooded valleys and grass-covered hills. Its estuary opens and closes to the sea, while nearby rivers meet the coast among mangroves and forests. A Mpondo tradition links the river's name to King Faku: enemies were executed at Mlengana rock, and their blood was said to have run into the streams below. The story gives the landscape a place in the memory of his rule.
