Umzumbe Municipality (Zulu: UMasipala wase Mzumbe) is a local municipality within the Ugu District Municipality, in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. The municipality is named after the Umzumbe River.[3] Towns within the municipal boundaries include Friedenau, KwaDweshula, St Faith’s, and Umzumbe.[4]

Income levels in the municipality are very low, and reflect a situation of acute impoverishment. Almost 60% of all households have an income of less than R500 per month. Households rely for survival on pension and other welfare grants, migrant remittances, informal earnings and casual employment wages.[5]
