The rural village, in the Umfolozi Local Municipality, outside Richards Bay in the northeast of KwaZulu-Natal is the birth and burial place of Mthethwa. He was laid to rest next to his father's grave at a family home on Sunday after a Category 2 State funeral service at a local stadium.

Speaking after the funeral, many residents said the government must honour him by tarring the gravel road he used from his childhood to death.
