The Diocese of Umzimvubu is a relatively new
Diocese created out of a portion of the former
St John's See. It came into existence in 1991
and is currently vacant after the ousting of
bishop Mlibo Ngewu.
The Diocese of Umzimvubu sits on the border of Kwazulu Natal and The Eastern Cape, located in the northern area of the former homeland of the Transkei. Historically the Diocese, along with the
Diocese of Mthatha, formed the larger Diocese of St John's. Consequently, it shares many of the characteristics of this neighbouring diocese.
