Province Information
![]()
Natal means "Christmas" in Portuguese, so called because it was first reached by the Vasco da Gama expedition in that time of the year.
This former province contained KwaZulu and two enclaves of Transkei.
In 1994, it became the new province of KwaZulu Natal excluding the two pieces of Transkei territory that are now part of the new Eastern Cape.
