About Bergville

Bergville(formerly known as Ntenjwa) is a town with a rich history. The area was formerly known as Ntenjwa (eMangwaneni). The land was taken by the Hlongwane clan from the Hlubi clan after a conflict in the mid-19th century, believed to be around the 1850s. The conflict led to the displacement of the Hlubi clan.

Bergville is equidistant from Johannesburg and Durban and is also known as the gateway to the Northern Drakensberg holiday resorts.
