The Population of Molweni is made up of mostly Black Africans, with Females being the predominate Gender! Molweni is a Residential Area of Western Ethekweni Municipality, Durban. This Area is peripheral to Durban’s planning networks and have not been considered in the Municipality’s planned Bus Rapid Transport network, although there has been some infrastructural investment in roads and bridges. There is a complex mix in terms of both housing and land ownership. The meaning of 'Molweni' is Xhosa and is a general greeting, 'hello'. Land ownership in the Area is a mix of tribal and private.
The Paradise Valley Nature Reserve, 100 Hectares of coastal and remnant grassland, boasts one of the two National Monuments to be found in Pinetown – The Umbilo Waterworks, which were built in 1887 and the Indigo Vats! (There are also mysterious burial mounds of stone scattered around the Reserve.) All four of the trails in the Reserve start at the Interpretive Centre and head down through the picnic Area. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the Waterfall and another half an hour for the return.
In 1904, after the outbreak of Bubonic Plague, near present day Newtown, the African population in the Area was moved to the Farm; 'Klipspruit', twelve Miles South-West of the City.

The Village took its enduring name from the Voortrekker description: 'of its River being beautiful'. 'Mooi', which translates as 'pretty' in English. In Zulu, however, the River is Mpofana: 'Place of the Eland'.

The World's oldest known mattress has been unearthed in South Africa, in a Cave in KZN! Made of plant material and dated up to 77,000 years ago—50,000 years earlier than previous evidence for human bedding. These early mattresses apparently were even specially prepared to be resistant to mosquitoes and other insects! Early members of our species, Homo sapiens, were nomads who made their living by hunting and gathering. Yet they often created temporary base camps where they cooked food and spent the night.
