15The Natal Metamorphic Province consists of, from north to south, the Tugela, Mzumbe, 16 and Margate terranes. These were accreted to the southeastern margin of the Kaapvaal 17Craton in the late Mesoproterozoic, and followed by intrusion of a large suite of A-type 18 granitoid bodies. New U-Pb data from zircon, titanite, and monazite further constrains the 19 temporal framework of these geological events. 20
