	Tugela - LoveToKnow 1911
		The river, which starts its race to the ocean with a north-east course, soon bends more directly east, and, with many windings north and south, maintains this general direction across the tableland of north Natal until its junction with the Buffalo river, when it turns south.
		From the south the river is increased by several affluents, the chief being the Mooi (Beautiful) river.
		From the junction of the Blood river with the Buffalo, that stream and subsequently the Tugela form the boundary between Natal and Zululand.

		North of the river the traditional African settlement structures of the Zulus are dominant.
		The little village of Tugela Mouth on the northern banks of the river mouth is - despite its long and wide sandy beaches and the beautiful estuary - hardly touched by tourism.

		The Tugela River is the second-largest river in South Africa, flows from its source on the summit of Mont-aux-Sources in the Royal Natal National Park in Kwa Zulu-Natal.
		The river rises at the western end of the Mount-aux-Sources plateau, finds its way to and then plunges over the Amphitheatre's rim in an 850 metre long series of dramatic cascades and falls, one of which drops a sheer 183 metre and then flows eastwards 322 kilometres to the Indian Ocean.
		A superb 11-kilometre path leading up the Tugela River to its spectacular gorge near the foot of the waterfall, without any climbing necessary, is one of the finest walks in South Africa.

	[No title]
		In the land they had quitted the air was dense with moisture; scarcely a hill was to be seen; they were hemmed in by sluggish rivers and by the sea, which leaned heavily against the dykes and threw its spray angrily down on to the reclaimed pastures which had been stolen from it.
		The Drakensberg Range on the one side and the Buffalo River on the other formed the cleaving surfaces, Majuba and Laing's Nek were the cutting edge, and the base was the Tugela River.
		There was a dry river bed in which the troops could be formed up for attack, and, half a mile beyond, a farmhouse and a plantation afforded some cover; while a donga on the left at right angles to the river bed apparently offered a covered way up the hill to the crest.

	Bridge for Africa \|\| shop with a cause \|\| Fair Trade
		Thirty six years ago, Creina and Neil Alcock settled in a small holding on the Tugela River known as "Mdukatshani," which in Zulu means "place of lost grasses." Creina and Neil vehemently opposed apartheid and decided to withdraw from the system and live in the heart of KwaZuluNatal amongst their Zulu neighbors.
		She tells them, “This little thing you’re making; it will carry your heart with it, and it will see the places that you won’t.” Creina keeps the weavers up to date with world events and has visitors speak to the women about where they are coming from and what they are doing in life.
		However, she was aided by her dedication and perseverance, as two years later she is now the weaver of some of the most exquisite pieces coming from the Tugela River Valley group.

		Maritz himself occupied the largest of these laagers situated on bare dusty veld overlooking the Little Tugela river near the prominent hill named Loskop; he fortified the camp with a strong wall of sods and in consequence the Boers knew it as Sooilaer.
		As the initial Zulu attacks became weaker and weaker Ndlela's division on the eastern bank of the river was preparing to enter the battle.

		Before one reaches the firing-line he must pass villages of men, camps of men, bivouacs of men, who are feeding, mending, repairing, and burying the men at the "front." It is these latter that make the mob of gypsies, which is apparently without head or order or organization.
		They stretched across the great basin of the Tugela, like the children of Israel, their camp-fires rising to the sky at night like the reflection of great search-lights; by day they swarmed across the plain, like hundreds of moving circus-vans in every direction, with as little obvious intention as herds of buffalo.
		The illusion was so complete, that you expected, by looking down, to see the Tugela lashing at her banks, tossing the spray hundreds of feet in air, and battling with her sides of rock.

		This is a major long term project, the aim being to pump water from the rivers draining the Lesotho Highlands, north into South Africa, and eventually into the Vaal Dam, the main water supply for the Johannesburg region.

		There is now a beautiful tar road all the way from Hlotse, over the mountains to the Malibamatso river valley and all the way south to the Katse.
