KwaZulu-Natal’s capital is Pietermaritzburg, and its largest city is Durban, in the eThekwini metro. The province has two of the country’s most important ports, Durban and Richards Bay, along with manufacturing, sugar cane and forestry, and a large tourism industry from the coast to the Drakensberg.
Many people live far from the main cities, so training that only happens in Durban or Pietermaritzburg leaves a lot of the province out.
