The book: The Land of Green Gold: Some History of Natal and Zululand by Daryl O`Connor – Paperback – Sept. 26 2013.

From Amazon: "South Africa has a really rich and varied history, probably best known for gold and diamonds, the Boer War and the Zulu war - there is just so much more! Sugar has been the major economic activity in what is now KwaZulu Natal - formerly Natal and Zululand for nearly 200 years. It has been a story of clashing worlds and cultures - Western and African, Imperialism, settlers coming to a new land to make new lives, making of great fortunes, creation of dynasties, conflict and treachery leading to war between the settlers and the Zulus and, finally, conflict between the powerful old families leading to a massive take over battle leading to consolidation of the industry into two massive organisations operating internationally. All this in less than 200 years!" (visit link)

Coordinates are from Durban City Hall. Durban nicknamed Durbs, is the third most populous city in South Africa after Johannesburg and Cape Town and the largest city in KwaZulu-Natal.
