Mtwalume is a rural living area part of the KwaZulu-Natal Province. During my three-day stay here I lived with a local family who graciously provided me insight into their lives as I lived like a local. Here are a few pictures which describe the landscape, housekeeping, roadways and vegetation of the area.

| Rather then paved roads, Mtwalume is home to dirt roadways. |
 |
| The area is encompassed with luscious greenery. |
 |
| This roundeville is the 'office' of a sangoma or natural healer who uses herbs and other natural remedies to cure every day problems like illness, theft or lost items and the nuisance of bad luck. |
 |
| Along with banana trees, Mtwalume is home to lemon, mango and avocado trees which grow freely throughout the area. |
 |
| A ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine. These latrines are common throughout the area as indoor plumbing and bathrooms are scarce if non existent. |
