Probably named after the nearby stream which, after rains, froths turbulently and resembles milk. The name is also said to be derived from cofa, ‘press’, mvaba, ‘milk-bag’ (of goat-skin), done to break lumps of sour milk. Another explanation is that the sound of the water gurgling over the rocks is reminiscent of the splashing of milk in the bag when shaken.[3] The village of Cofimvaba was probably established in about 1877 when the magisterial seat for Thembuland, which had originally been located at St Marks, was transferred to a more accessible location. Chris Hani was born in Cofimvaba. There is a hospital in Cofimvaba, Cofimvaba Hospital. There are two high schools that are in town, St. James High School and Cofimvaba High School.
