Durban

Durban is a vibrant cosmopolitian city in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. It is also known by the Zulu word , (the meaning of which is unclear, but most likely is "lagoon" from the word itheku, or "at the harbour", although other shadier theories have been put forward). Since 2000, a number of towns, including Durban, have been part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality.
