Kwazulu-Natal is the second highest contributor (of the provinces) to South Africa's GDP (Gauteng is the biggest). A key strength is trade and logistics. The Durban port is one of the 10 biggest in the world, and the busiest in the country.
Helped by the abundant water supply, Kwazulu-Natal is being rapidly industrialised. Industries are found in Durban, Dundee, Hammarsdale, Ladysmith, Mandeni, Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay & Richmond.
The mining of several heavy minerals takes place at Richards Bay, and the export thereof at Richards Bay harbour.
Agriculture forms a large part of this subtropical province's economy.
Although there are several universities & technicons in the province, almost 23% of adults in Kwazulu-Natal have received no school (the workforce is relatively poorly skilled).
The tourism industry is supported by the numerous hotels & restaurants.
Unemployment in the province runs at about 25%.
