Usuthu or oSuthu is a main place in Nongoma Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa, with 2001 and 2011 Census number: 53004000.[1]
Usuthu was founded in 1898 as a homestead by Dinuzulu kaCetshwayo (Dinizulu) son of King Cetshwayo.[2] He chose the name in homage to his father's followers who were called uSuthu.[3][4] At the time he was employed by the British as an advisor, although he was widely regarded by the Zulu people as their king.[3]
