What can you Tell me About Umtata?
The city was founded a year after a military post was set up in the area. This soon grew thanks to the arrival of the Catholic and Anglican Church in the city followed by the development of the city as an administrative centre and subsequent capital for the Transkei. During and after the apartheid era it gained importance for being the home and subsequent political hotbed for many of the leading figures of the anti-apartheid movement including the president, Nelson Mandela.
