I have a question! Umhlanga is like a neighborhood in Durban? or is it a suburb?

To be specific, Umhlanga is an Edge City. It used to be totally separate from Durban and have its own council, but when Durban's municipal boundaries changed in 2001, it became part of the metro area. Now it i guess u could say it is a suburb, but the edge city term is more appropriate.

The building has been transferred to the commercial tenants. Stores are being fitted out at present, and the accounting firm PFK has already moved in which is evident with the large number of suited workers in gateway's palm court at lunch time.

I have been to Plaka 4 times. i love it. its one of those places with a dress code. no takkies, but can wear jeans but with a collared shirt.

The atmosphere is really good, with nice views of the palm boulevard, plus the decor is top draw
