Richard's Bay, South Africa

RICHARD’S BAY, SOUTH AFRICA

Is South Africa’s largest harbor on the northern coast of the province of Kwa-Zulu-Natal., which is one of the poorest provinces of South Africa. This is the homeland of the Zulu tribe, some of whom worked in the mines. It is a patriarchal community and some Zulus still live in the villages, headed by a male leader. Mining is one of the main industries, which includes gold, copper, diamonds, minerals, coal, and ore. There is not much gas or oil. Kimberly is the main diamond mine. Crops grown are corn, wheat, sugar cane, and grapes.

Shakaland, a Zulu village, which was used for the TV series, is now a cultural center.

Richard’s Bay is the gateway to wild life; many safaris can be booked from here. There are many game preserves and more animals than Kenya but less variety.
