Umtata, South Africa

Umtata South Africa

Umtata is the main town of the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province and the seat of the OR Tambo District Municipality. The town has an airport, formerly known as K. D. Matanzima Airport after the former leader Kaiser Matanzima. The name Mthatha comes from the nearby Mthatha River, which was named after the Sneezewood (umtati) trees, valued for their timber and medicinal properties. The settlement existed in the 1870s as a buffer zone in response to tensions reported between the Pondo and neighboring Thembu groups, and in 1875 a magistrate’s office was established, with J. F. Boyes appointed as the first magistrate that year. The settlement grew over the following years and became a British colonial military post in 1882. The town itself was founded in 1883 along the banks of the Mthatha River.
