A 'one-street' village named after the Zulu word for a variant of the monkey-apple tree. Lush, scenic and culturally rich, Tongaat awarded President Nelson Mandela 'Freedom of the Town' in 1995. Every year in April or May, though - depending on the lunar calendar - the Brake Village Hindu Temple hosts one of Durban Metro's largest Kavady Festivals...a spectacular event not to be missed! To experience African culture, arrange a visit to the adjoining Hambanathi Township - its friendly name means 'go with us'.
