Location: South Africa » Kwazulu Natal » Zululand

Situated in the Kingdom of the Zulu

Zululand is situated in Northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. KwaZulu Natal is known as the "Kingdom of the Zulu".

It extends along the coast of the Indian Ocean from the Tugela River in the South to the Pongola River in the North.

In 1816, Shaka acceded to the Zulu throne. Within a year he had conquered the neighboring clans, and had made the Zulu people into the most important ally of the large Mtetwa clan, which competed with the Ndwandwe clan for domination of the northern part of modern-day KwaZulu-Natal.

Zululand is one of the 11 district municipalities ("districts") of KwaZulu-Natal province. The seat of Zululand is Ulundi. The majority of its 804 456 people speak IsiZulu (2001 Census). The district code is DC26. It is part of a larger historical area also known as Zululand.
