What is "mdimba"

Mdimba is a mountain and hill range in northwestern Swaziland. Mount Mdimba flanks the eastern side of the Ezulwini Valley. This valley was once the residence of the Swazi royal family and is shrouded in legends and mysteries. The Mdimba hills historically have had strategical importance and contain many caves in which locals would hide during raids. In 1826, the Swazi people retreated into the hills during an attack by the Zulus. The Boers met with the locals of Mdimba on 16 December 1889.
