The 2024/25 edition of KwaZulu-Natal Business is the 16th issue of this highly successful publication that, since its launch in 2008, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the KwaZulu-Natal Province. A special feature on the state of the estate market in South Africa notes some features beyond the obvious attractions such as security and coastal living. New factors in the growth of the estate living market include a focus on conservation and nature, developers offering a broader (and lower) price range for buyers of homes and residential estates now becoming part of bigger “precincts” offering other zones such as retail and commercial. Examples from KwaZulu-Natal are cited regarding these new trends. The province’s ports, including the inland Dube TradePort situated at the King Shaka International Airport, were firmly in the spotlight as the first-ever shipment was made out of South Africa in terms of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). If the country is to take full advantage of the agreement then its logistics infrastructure has to run efficiently. To complement the extensive local, national and international distribution of the print edition, the full content can also be viewed online at www.globalafricanetwork.com under ebooks. Updated information on KwaZulu-Natal is also available through our monthly e-newsletter, which you can subscribe to online at www.southafricanbusiness.co.za, in addition to our complementary business-to-business titles that cover all nine provinces, our flagship South African Business title and the latest addition to our list of publications, The Journal of African Business, which was launched in 2020.
