Kwa Zulu Natal Some History
On Christmas day in 1497 Vasco Da Gama was the first European to see the coast of Natal (the original name of the region, meaning Christmas in Portuguese). From its early days, the province has been the scene of many fierce battles - being the bone of contention between the Zulus and the Voortrekkers; the British Empire and Boer settlers (Anglo-Boer War); the Zulus and the British Empire. The region consisted of a semi independent tribal homeland for the Zulu people. At the end of apartheid in 1994 it was re-incorporated into the Natal province and the province was renamed Kwa Zulu Natal.
