Amongst these businesses are Mondi, Sappi Limited, Tongaat Hullet and Crooks Brother. Many agro-processing opportunities exist within the province. Automotive and electronic manufacturing of components thereof is well established in the Durban region. These businesses include Toyota, Samsung and Bell Equipment, including several major national suppliers. The Durban Automotive Cluster (DAC) is a partnership between the eThekwini Municipality and the automotive industry in KwaZulu-Natal with the aim to grow and support this sector. Transport and logistical activities are growing significantly in the province. Having more than 600km of coastline, and Africa’s busiest seaport in Durban and bulk seaport in Richards Bay, combined with excellent road and rail infrastructure and global logistics service providers, it is easy to see why KwaZulu-Natal lays claim to being southern Africa's Trade Gateway. KwaZulu-Natal's manufacturing sector is the second largest in the country. The manufacturing sector is geared for export, with nearly a third of South Africa's manufactured exports being produced in KwaZulu-Natal.

Durban Aerotropolis – the heart of which is Dube TradePort and King Shaka International Airport (DUR) – is a major trade and business hub in Sub-Saharan Africa, on the doorstep of KwaZulu-Natal’s biggest city and primary manufacturing centre, Durban. It brings to the fore a highly competitive business operating environment, complete with state-of-the-art connected infrastructure – road, rail, seaport and IT – all designed to accelerate business efficiencies and enhance the global supply chain. The development is strategically located between the seaports of Durban – Africa’s busiest port, boasting the southern hemisphere’s biggest and best-equipped container terminal – and Richards Bay – South Africa’s largest deep-water port and the primary facility for handling bulk commodities, as well as granite blocks, liquid and steel. Destination: Catchment and Demographics Page 14 DURBAN AEROTROPOLIS Significant Government investment in continued port and regional development is set to further streamline business efficiencies, while planning activities for Durban’s new and visionary dig-out port project will also broaden the competitive advantage of the Durban Aerotropolis. Based on a 50-year master plan, three components clearly set Dube TradePort, at the heart of the Durban Aerotropolis, apart, affording it a distinct competitive advantage over other South African and African destinations: • Firstly, this is a freight-orientated development with world-class cargo facilities, managed by a single handler and considered the most secure in Africa; • Secondly, it is being purpose-built; and • Thirdly, this is one of few such developments around the world utilising a greenfield site, with over 3 000 hectares (7 413 acres) of land ready for carefully planned and controlled development. The development provides for public and private cooperation, coordination and alignment with Government planning, ensuring both direct and indirect involvement in its development and growth by not only the Provincial Government, but also attendant Local Government structures, organised business and – critically – the private sector. Such a strong public-private relationship is rare in the growth of aerotropolis developments anywhere else in the world, while here these sectors are pooling their individual strengths to realise a common and mutually beneficial objective: the sustained coordination of the growth and development of the Durban Aerotropolis in a region renowned for its lifestyle. We are developing the smartest airport-based development possible; take advantage of the opportunities in the next frontier: AFRICA.
