 Umlando 
Umlando womtapolwazi ungahlehliselwa emuva ekumisweni kweNhlangano Yezincwadi yasePietermaritzburg ngo-1846, esekelwa nguDavid Dale Buchanan, umhleli wephephandaba lendawo, i-Natal Witness. Yayinegumbi lokufunda nomtapolwazi omncane futhi yavulwa njengomtapo wezenhlalo wokuqala wasePietermaritzburg ngo-1849. Ekuqaleni kwakunzima, kodwa kamuva yasekelwa yi-Natal Society (eyasungulwa ngo-1851) eyayithathe i-Book Society ngo-1865, futhi yaqala ukuqoqa izimali zendawo ekuyo. Nge-guineas ezingu-2,000, iNhlangano yathenga i-20 Longmarket Street ngo-1876; yavulwa njengomtapolwazi womphakathi nomnyuziyamu ngoFebruary 1878.

Ngo-1916, Umtapolwazi WaseNatal wanikezwa isikhundla sokugcina ucwaningo ngokusemthethweni. Njengoba zonke izincwadi ezikhishwe INingizimu Afrika manje zigcinwe kumtapolwazi ngezinhloso zokubhalisa, kwadingeka ukuthi zandiswa ngokuphindaphindiwe. Izakhiwo ezintsha zeLongmarket Street zenezelwa ngo-1929 nango-1957, futhi isakhiwo seCommercial Road saqashwa kusukela ngo-1963.

Ngo-1967, ngemuva kokuba umkhandlu-dolobha uvumile ukuxhasa ngezimali umtapolwazi, waba umtapo wokuboleka mahhala. Phakathi neminyaka yobandlululo, umtapo wezincwadi wahlala uvulekele zonke izakhamuzi, kungakhathaliseki uhlanga, futhi wakhula ngamagatsha angu-11 kulo lonke idolobha.[1]

Izakhiwo zomtapolwazi waseLongmarket Street ekugcineni zathathelwa indawo ngo-1975 ngomtapo wesimanje omusha owakhiwa eChurch Street, owavulwa ngo-17 June 1975. Lesi sakhiwo sahlala siyisakhiwo esiyinhloko somtapo wezincwadi wedolobha iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30. Ngo-2004, iNhlangano yaseNatal yadlulisela umtapolwazi nabasebenzi bawo kUMasipala Wendawo waseMsunduzi. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, isakhiwo esisha esixhaswa idolobha, esinefenisha kanye nesitoko esixhaswe yI-Carnegie Corporation, savulwa ngokusemthethweni ngo-12 July 2007 futhi saqanjwa ngoBessie Head, umlobi waseNingizimu Afrika nomshisekeli omelene nobandlululo owazalelwa ePietermaritzburg.

Umtapolwazi WoMkhandlu waseMsunduzi namuhla ungomunye wemitapolwazi emihlanu yezincwadi yezomthetho yaseNingizimu Afrika. Iyona kuphela inhlangano yaseKwaZulu-Natal ephethe zonke izincwadi ezabhalwa ngumshisekeli wezombusazwe waseNdiya UMahatma Gandhi (owabandlululwa ngokohlanga futhi waxoshwa esitimeleni ePietermaritzburg ngo-1893).
