Umhlanga Ridge at a glance
Umhlanga (Zulu: uMhlanga) is an affluent residential, commercial and resort town north of Durban on the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, which was created in 2000 and includes the greater Durban area. The name means "place of reeds" in the Zulu language, and the correct pronunciation of "hl" in Umhlanga is similar to the Welsh "ll". It is bordered by Durban North to the south and Mt Edgecombe to the west.
It is well known for the Gateway Theatre of Shopping, the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere. It also has the second-tallest skyscraper in South Africa, Pearl Sky, at 183 m. There are two beaches, Bronze Beach and Main Beach, both of which are patrolled by lifeguards throughout the day. Umhlanga is one of the fastest-growing cities in South Africa; its population increased 57.5% from 15,387 in the 2001 census to 24,238 in the 2011 census.
Just as Sandton, Gauteng, is becoming the financial centre of Johannesburg, Umhlanga is becoming the main economic hub of Durban.
