natal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in south africa?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for natal that I've seen before include "Like a birthday" , "Relating to birth - former South African province" , "Province of South Africa" , "former SA province" , "Christmas is Jesus's -- day" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
