Well for Durb's I would nominate the Grey Street mosque.
Although being an Gujerati Hindu, I am nominating a mosque, there are many temples out there, that date back from the time indians have arrived from their mother land, but none of them stands out more than this.
I lived in Durban all my life & since my family having a buisness in town I have always noticed this landmark. It was or maybe still is the largest mosque in the southern hemisphere. Even Madiba visited the place quite a few times.

Or if we can, can I nominate the whole of Grey Street? It is man made, & it does serve kind of like a monument. Its the busiest street in Durban, & plays host to many religons. Heres a website I found on Grey streets multicultural background.

I'd nominate the following:
The Union Buildings
Sir Herbert Baker's masterpiece and an icon of South African architecture.
Pietermaritzburg City Centre (or just the City Hall if it can only be one building)
Considered one of the the world's top 3 cities for Victorian Architecture. The fine city hall is the southern hempishere's largest red brick building.
Durban Harbour
Africa's busiest harbour and the continent's global trade gateway
The Lost City

^^ read u dummy, "MAN MADE"
Hey... Durban harbour is an enormous multi billion dollar structure. Even in global terms it's impressive. As a Durbanite I'm always surprised at how small and undeveloped other harbours are but that's because we take this one for granted.
