Mahamba, Eswatini

Mahamba is a town in the Shiselweni district of southern Eswatini.

It has a border crossing point towards Piet Retief in South Africa.^[1] It is on the MR9 road.

An early Wesleyan mission station was established here in 1844.^[2] Robert Grendon moved here, probably before 1906, and his religious heterodoxy may have fuelled local religious strife.^[3]

There was a skirmish here in 1846 between Ohrigstad Boers and Swazi forces under Mswati.^[4]
