Diocese of Natal
The Diocese of Natal of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, founded in 1853, is located in the western part of the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal , west and south of the Tugela and Buffalo rivers . The seat is in Pietermaritzburg . Its leader is called the Bishop of Natal.
From 1869 to 1891 the diocese was divided into the diocese of Natal and the diocese of Pietermaritzburg, after the bishop of Cape Town tried unsuccessfully to depose Bishop John William Colenso and instead install another bishop in Pietermaritzburg .
