Welcome to uMsinga Local Municipality website...

uMsinga Local Municipality is an administrative area in the Umzinyathi District of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.

The name means a current in the sea where air movement causes ripples on top of the water surface and ends up influencing the nearby climatic conditions through its breeze.

uMsinga is a largely rural area with 70% of its area being Traditional Authority land held in trust by the Ingonyama Trust. The remaining 30% of land is commercial farm land, all of which is located to the north of Solomon Linda.
