Map of Umtata, Eastern Cape
Umatata detail and street level map showing the layout of the town and the location of the Nelson Mandela Museum. On the banks of the Mtata River - named after the Sneezewood (umtati) trees, famous for their wood and medicinal properties - Umtata was founded in 1879 and was originally the capital of the Transkei, homeland of the Xhosa during the Apartheid era. Transkei now forms part of the Eastern Cape and Umtata is still the centre of the region. To find out more about Umtata please visit Umtata Information.
