|
|
| |
As we reflect on a productive quarter, I am proud to share some of the milestones that continue to position the KZN South Coast as a premier destination for investment. |

In early June, the Umdoni Investment Seminar brought together government, business, and community stakeholders to explore investment opportunities. This collaborative platform highlighted Umdoni’s vision to become the ‘Jewel of the KZN South Coast’ by 2030, while reinforcing the importance of partnerships in driving sustainable economic growth and investor confidence. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Shortly thereafter, we celebrated a historic moment with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding alongside Serenity Hills, Renishaw Coastal Precinct, and Umdoni Point Coastal Lifestyle Village. This agreement reflects our joint commitment to fostering property development that unlocks investment potential and creates socio-economic impact across the region. |
|

|
|
| |
In commemoration of Women’s Month, we took the opportunity to celebrate the KZN South Coast’s women shaping the tourism and business sectors. These inspiring leaders remind us that inclusive growth is the foundation of a resilient and thriving economy. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Looking ahead, the KZN South Coast is more ready than ever for investment. With upgraded infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and the support of the SCTIE One Stop Shop, we are creating an enabling environment that welcomes both domestic and international investors. |
