Mpumalanga is a province in the eastern part of South Africa, bordering Swaziland and Mozambique. The region has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back thousands of years. The area has been inhabited by various indigenous tribes, including the Ndebele and the Swazi. The province played an important role in the Anglo-Zulu War and later in the South African War. In 1994, Mpumalanga became one of the country's nine provinces following the first democratic elections in South Africa. Today, the region is home to a diverse mix of cultures and an abundance of natural beauty.
