Also in London to support the President’s investment drive were representatives of Invest Durban, a partnership between KwaZulu-Natal’s eThekwini Metro City Council and the private business sector. The body exists to stimulate economic growth and new investment in Durban, the economic hub of the KwaZulu-
Natal, located on the country’s eastern seaboard and which is home to two of Africa’s biggest and busiest seaports, Durban and Richards Bay. Investment opportunities abound in this top destination, regarded as a
business gateway to South Africa’s hinterland, Africa and the world.

Maintaining the investment drive momentum, Invest Durban, in conjunction with the KZN Growth Coalition, is set to host an additional investment mission in the United Kingdom. Focusing on sharing available investment opportunities in Newcastle between 5 and 7 June and in London on 8 June, when the organisations will stage a Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Investment Day. The Mission, led by the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Government’s Members of the Executive Council, the Mayor of Durban and a number of prominent local business leaders, aims to promote the City and Province as a premier investment destination, whilst showcasing a diverse range of flagship, investor-ready projects through a series of organised business-to-business engagements.
