Umbogintwini (a corruption of eZimbokodweni)[2] is a town near Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Its post office received the corrected name in 1997.
Holiday resort on the Indian Ocean, 23 km south-west of Durban and 4 km north-east of Amanzimtoti. The name is an adaptation of Zulu Mbokodweni, ‘river of round grinding-stones’; the resort is named after the river which enters the sea there.[3]
eZimbokodweni means "site where small, round grinding stones are collected".[2]
