Shaka's Rock is a town on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Shaka's Rock is a small residential village 40 km (25 mi) from Durban. Its name comes from a promontory over which the Zulu chief Shaka is said to have thrown his enemies and to have tested his men by daring them to jump to their deaths.[2]
