Mbazwana, Elephant Coast
The small town of Mbazwana is a settlement that covers just over 10 square kilometres in the uMkhanyakude District. It falls under the uMhlabuyalingana Municipality in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. It is home to fewer than 5 000 people, of whom well over 90% speak Zulu as their first language.
Mbazwana Mall is a new development that offers visitors and locals quick, easy access to supermarkets, corporate companies and other amenities and facilities, all under one roof.
Mbazwana is situated close to the beautiful Sodwana Bay, which is renowned for its wealth of biodiversity – plant, land animals and marine animals. It is also the Mecca for those with a penchant for SCUBA diving, snorkelling, fishing and watching the many resident turtles, as well as other water sports. This is the idyllic spot for families and friends who want to make a day trip to the exquisite coastline of the eastern shores of South Africa.
