Invest Durban, the City of Durban’s official investment promotion agency, is proud to announce its participation in the AFSIC – Investing in Africa Conference and Expo in London from 14 to 15 October.

In February 2023, South Africa was placed on the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) “grey list” after the global watchdog found shortcomings in how the country implemented anti money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) standards.

In 2025, KwaZulu Natal (KZN) is home to approximately 4,077 registered companies, with Durban leading at 2,303, followed by Pietermaritzburg at 271, and Newcastle at 93.
