Mahamba is a town in the Shiselweni district of southern Eswatini.
It has a border crossing point towards Piet Retief in South Africa.[1] It is on the MR9 road.
An early Wesleyan mission station was established here in 1844.[2] Robert Grendon moved here, probably before 1906, and his religious heterodoxy may have fuelled local religious strife.[3]
There was a skirmish here in 1846 between Ohrigstad Boers and Swazi forces under Mswati.[4]
