Sanibonani! Greetings to each of you! The launch of the KZN 2010 provincial website is yet another milestone in our provincial plan towards the world tournament.
Ten reasons and more to choose KZN as your destination for 2010: 1. Portugal's ship-borne explorer Vasco da Gama sighted the KwaZulu Natal coastline on Christmas Day, 1497, and duly named it Natal – meaning Christmas in Portuguese and giving rise to the original name for the region.
2. At the end of Apartheid in 1994, the province of Natal was renamed KwaZulu Natal. KwaZulu means "Place of the Zulu or 'Place of Heaven'. Inhabitants are referred to as the amaZulu - 'People of Heaven.’
3. The province is home to the Zulu monarchy and is also the only province in South Africa which includes the name of its dominant ethnic group in its name.
