The Zulu Kingdom is casting off the shackles of economic stagnation and experiencing a boom in the manufacturing, business, entertainment and tourism sectors.

The third-smallest province in the country, and home to 21% of SA's population, KwaZulu Natal (KZN) occupies 92 100 km˛ , or almost 8% of the total land area of the country.

With its miles of palm-fringed golden beaches, Durban reflects the positive economic and business mood gripping KZN.
