The local Zulu population had long referred to the promontory here as 'Ntsaba' , and when Alfred Eyles built a wattle-and- daub mission nearby he Anglicized it to The Lookout . When he bought the area, however, he changed the name to Southbroom, after his Southbroom Hall family home in Wiltshire. Land surveyors, pleased to find a reminder of the 'Old Country' , retained the name when officially declaring a town on the site in 1933.
