Mount Frere has a population of over 1000 000 although this might appear as crowded, the town in fact, has the smallest population and most people who are in Mount Frere are from the surrounding rural villages and the most closest village is Lubhacweni which is located behind the town in the north direction. There is also Primary and Secondary Education Schools known as Jolobe Junior Secondary School, Mount Frere High School and Ingwe Further Education and Training College. The Madzikane Ka Zulu Memorial Hospital (previously known as Mary Theresa Hospital]) is one the biggest hospitals in the province and is situated also along the Main street but is situated further east outwards from the Business hub of the town and is a landmark in the area.
There are a lot of farmers in and around Mount Frere and most of the people rely on subsistence farming for their basic needs. Peaches, pears, oranges and maize meal are the most popular fruits and vegetables in Mount Frere and recently there has been involvement from the Municipal to change these Subsistence farmers into Commercial farmers.

Famous quotes containing the word population:
“Like other cities created overnight in the Outlet, Woodward acquired between noon and sunset of September 16, 1893, a population of five thousand; and that night a voluntary committee on law and order sent around the warning, “if you must shoot, shoot straight up!””
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“O for a man who is a man, and, as my neighbor says, has a bone in his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics are at fault: the population has been returned too large. How many men are there to a square thousand miles in this country? Hardly one.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
