Picture Identification

This picture appears in a Natal photograph album from around 1879. No indication of location. What do the locals think? I wondered if it is Mangeni?

Hi Steve
Its a bit shallow for the Mangeni falls and the hills behind are a bit low. There are a couple of 'Banana Boys' (Friendly banter) on site that could probably identify it. Could be Howick, but again a touch shallow. Definitly not Tugela. Could be this one, SterkSpruit ( Means Strong stream)

Thanks Springbok.

And there was me thinking that the dapper looking chap on the right was The Good Lord C.
Our friend on the left is obviously saying to him " No my old fruit, no Zulus round here. But I hear tell there's a whole heap of em bout ten miles back that way".

There are 1 or 2 in the area. Have a look through.
