Welcome to the Msunduzi Municipality's official website. The city of Pietermaritzburg, situated in the Msunduzi Municipality, is the capital city of the Kwa-Zulu Natal province. Pietermaritzburg has come a long way from the quiet, colonial outpost it once was. Today, it is a modern South African city that is home to over 600 000 people of diverse cultures.
Pietermaritzburg is the "City of Choice" because:
- we are only 45 minutes by road from Durban, Africa’s Busiest port;
- we are one hour by air from Pietermaritzburg Airport to OR Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) ;
- we are only 90 minutes from the central Drakensberg resorts ;
- we are the new capital of South Africa’s most popular province, KwaZulu-Natal;
- our city’s economy grew by an incredible 30% in 2003-2004 and continues to grow at an exceptional rate;
- we are an educational centre of excellence;
- we are home to great international events, such as the Comrades Marathon, the Duzi Marathon, the Midmar Mile, the Royal & Garden Show, Art & Cars in the Park and International cycling events;
- here one can walk in the footsteps of Gandhi, Mandela and Paton, and many other truly great South Africans and
- the generous and flexible incentives offered by the Municipality to investors.
It's simply because this is a great city in which to live, raise a family, and do business.
