Zululand is one of the 11 district municipalities of the KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa with its headquarters being in Ulundi, the former capital of the KwaZulu homeland. The majority of its 804 456 people speak IsiZulu (2001 Census) and the district comprises the local municipalities of Ulundi, Nongoma, Abaqulusi, uPhongolo and eDumbe.
