uMfolozi (formerly Mbonambi) is an administrative area in the King Cetshwayo District of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The municipality is named after the Mbonambi Local Tribal Authority, which covers most of the municipal area.
The 2001 census divided the municipality into the following main places:
The municipal council consists of thirty-three members elected by mixed-member proportional representation. Seventeen councillors are elected by first-past-the-post voting in seventeen wards, while the remaining sixteen are chosen from party lists so that the total number of party representatives is proportional to the number of votes received. In the election of 3 August 2016 the African National Congress (ANC) won a narrow majority of seventeen seats on the council. The following table shows the results of the election.
