== Name == Nhamatanda has had many names. Early in its history, it was known as "Bambu Crick". In the local dialect of Chisena, this means "Mr. Crick" - a reference to a British landowner in the area. English-speakers, however, referred to the place as "Bamboo Creek", a reference to a small river near the town. Which name came first is unknown, and many residents of the area refer variously to these different stories.
