Once-sleepy holiday destination rising as a testing ground for tech
Once a sleepy holiday destination on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal, Ballito has become a prominent testing ground for smart estates and the tech-driven retail market in South Africa.
Located approximately 46km north of Durban, Ballito was established as a private township in 1954 by the Glen Anil Development Corporation, headed by Dr Edward Rubenstein.
