King Shaka International Airport is one of KwaZulu-Natal’s great success stories. Within a few years of its opening for business, it was voted best airport under 5 million passengers

But what many don’t know is that King Shaka International Airport has a partner, Dube TradePort, and that together the two are the focus of a 50-year master plan aimed at turning KwaZulu-Natal into an economic powerhouse.

Dube TradePort is a gigantic greenfield development purpose-built to facilitate airport-related business. And while King Shaka International Airport has been garnering an international reputation, Dube TradePort has been turning itself into one of South Africa’s top investment opportunities.The key is a combination of cutting-edge infrastructure with an emphasis on local

economic development. Dube TradePort has several business zones, each focusing on a specific niche in the market, from agriculture to manufacturing to cargo handling to cloud-based data solutions.

Dube TradePort’s unique position – adjacent to the airport and close to the important seaports at Durban and Richards Bay – lets it offer investors a perfect blend of convenience and international reach.

It’s a winning formula. Not only does Dube TradePort have the backing of the provincial and national government, but it has also been given a coveted Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) designation.

With the support of local and international investors, government backing, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and a fully-formed development plan stretching to 2060, Dube TradePort is set to become the engine that drives KwaZulu-Natal’s economy.

Dube TradePort is named after Dr John Langalibalele Dube, a writer, educator, clergyman, civil rights leader, and political visionary, who founded the Ohlange Institute in 1900. His role in shaping South Africa continues to reveal itself as we strive towards achieving socio-economic transformation and equality. His statue holds pride of place at the heart of Dube City, a fitting tribute to a great man.

Durban is now more connected to the rest of the world than ever before. That was the news from the 21st Annual World Routes conference, held in Durban in September, a first for Africa. More than 2 500 delegates attended from over 110 countries, to meet, plan, and discuss the future of global air travel.

The benefits for KwaZulu-Natal extended far beyond the prestige of playing host to such an important event. Several local and international airlines have shown a keen interest in expanding their operations to Durban’s own King Shaka International Airport, with three major airlines – Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Ethiopian Airlines – announcing new international routes direct to Durban (See below for more details).

There’s also good news for South Africans wanting to fly closer to home. Proflight Zambia announced a direct route between Durban and Lusaka, while two local carriers, Mango and FlySafair, are launching new daily flights to and from Lanseria and Cape Town respectively.

Local schools are reaping the benefits of solar power installations worth over R1.5 million. The solar installations are part of an ongoing initiative by Dube TradePort to bring state-of-the-art technologies directly to local communities.

So far, five primary schools and three secondary schools have been fitted with the units, which can reduce each school’s electricity bill by up to 60%. As a result, the schools have more money to channel into other important avenues where there were once shortages. Over 5 000 learners have benefited thus far.

The solar installations use cutting-edge photovoltaic cells, which absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. Solar energy does not rely on burning fossil fuels, so it’s a lot better for the environment too!SOLAR

HOW SOLAR POWER WORKS

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) oversees KwaZulu-Natal’s socio-economic transformation.

The department is responsible for leading the policy and strategic initiatives that promote the growth and development of various sectors of the economy. The department works with its social partners, including the private sector,

civil society, and public entities, to deliver transformation.

A number of public entities fall under EDTEA’s purview, including communications, business development, tourism and leisure, trade and manufacturing. In each edition of this insert we will focus on some of these entities, and show how they bring value to the lives of South Africans, every day.
