5. Msinga Local Municipality is an administrative area in the Umzinyathi District of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa.  The name means a current in the sea where air  movement causes ripples on top of the water surface and ends up influencing the nearby climate conditions through its breeze.

Msinga is large located in deep gorges of the Tugela and Buffalo Rivers, isolated from the immediate surrounding municipal areas.  The population dynamics result in a growing rural areas and a declining urban area in Msinga,   contrary to most other areas in the country.  This can be attributed to the fact that the urban areas of Msinga are very small and are unable to provide the normal range of goods and services provided in urban areas. 

Although the area has its challenges,  there are historic sites,  beautiful scenery and interesting topography in some parts,  suitable for cultural and eco-tourism. Furthermore,  the local communities are general creative in art, and music  (umasokandi).
