About Umtata
On the 2nd March 2004 Umtata was officially renamed to its current name Mthatha. Mthatha is the main town of the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality in Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The town has an airport taht was previously known by the name K D. Matanzima Airport after former leader Kaiser Matanzima. From 1976 to 1994, Mthatha served as the capital of the Transkei bantustan, under the name of Umtata.

It was a military post for the colonial forces in 1882 and the town itself was founded in 1883, along the banks of the Mthatha River. The Mthatha Dam was constructed about eight kilometers upstream of the town. Mthatha became the leading administrative center of the area, having both Anglican and Catholic cathedrals. It also became the seat of the traditional authorities and a parliament building for this purpose known as the Bunga was erected.

A branch of the University of Fort Hare was established in the town, and after the "independence" of the Transkei in 1977 it became the University of Transkei, which has since been integrated into the Walter Sisulu University for Technology and Science. The campus was the base for the region's first community radio station, UCRFM, which started in 1996 and has become a significant community broadcaster. .
