*************

Mariannhill is a little suburb near Pinetown in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.

Roman Catholic mission station 16 km west of Durban. Founded in 1882 as a Trappist monastery, it developed until in 1952 a health committee was established. The name is derived from those of the Virgin Mary and Saint Anne.[2]

In 1909 the St. Francis College was founded in Mariannhill, combining a boys' school and a girls' school that had operated since the mid/late 1880s. Over a century in operation, St. Francis college is a Roman Catholic independent coeducational secondary school.[3] One of its prominent faculty was the Zulu writer and poet Benedict Wallet Vilakazi.
