uMgeni Local Municipality

Tucked along the uMngeni River in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, uMgeni Local Municipality is an area whose character is shaped by rolling uplands, farming country and summer rainfall. Howick, its administrative centre, stands near Howick Falls, where the river drops about 95 metres into a gorge. The area also carries national historical weight: the Nelson Mandela Capture Site marks the vicinity where Mandela was arrested in 1962, before his long imprisonment. Country roads link small towns, farms and craft stops associated with the Midlands Meander, while Karkloof’s wooded hills add another dimension to the interior.
