HLOLA UMLAZI
Cultural Experiences
in Umlazi, Durban Metro,
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Hlola (Explore) Umlazi, the largest single township in South Africa, and the
only township with its own number plate…NUZ. The name Umlazi is attributed to
the legendary Zulu warrior-king, Shaka. The story goes that when his army passed
through the area, he thirsted and drank from a river in the area. He did not
like the taste, claiming it tasted like bad milk or Umlaza (a Zulu word for the
fatty layer that rises to the top of unhomogenised milk).
