Been going over the net and found this 1985 proposal for massive tower in central Durban to mainly function as a tourist attraction.

The plan was scuppered by aviation authorities

Anyone know much more about it??

i remember it briefly, i was 12 at the time and Durban had expro85 on at the expo site and it was very cool.

Never heard of it, but I know Durban Expo center aka Exhibition center had many additional expansion plans to it. so this could have been one of them.

I wonder what the site for this was? in town? near the expo site?

This could be very interesting to dig around and find out actually...

could be the empty plot/ parking lot next to Work shop, I know that area was the initial phase 3 of the exhibition site with the mono rail being linked there.

Good that is was not built - it looks crap!
