Durban is on the east coast of Africa and the main city in KwaZulu Natal historical home of the infamous Zulu tribes among others. It39s an oceanside town with a much more tropical climate compared to most of South Africa and immediately as I touched

We were glad to see farm land in South Africa once we left Swaziland and from what we had heard the KwaZuluNatal area of South Africa is for some reason one of the more unexplored areas in the country. This was great news for us and the National Parks were once again our first intention. Hluhluwe and iMfolzi Game Reserves are very close to Swaziland and made a good base to spend our first couple

Our holiday has finally started Well it may seem strange hearing that after several months already in Africa but the fact that we have now hired a car from our final leg of the journey through South Africa is making it a breeze.

While both deal value and volume are up on 2009 figures, with 302 deals worth $49.4bn (31bn) in 2010 compared to 284 deals worth $32.2bn (20bn) the previous year, both fall far short of pre-recession figures, according to the latest Mergermarket statistics.

Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs (ENS) lays claim to be the largest full-service law firm in Africa and has continued to grow during the financial crisis. It has advised on many of the region’s most notable corporate deals. It also has pro bono offices in two of South Africa’s townships where staff do a minimum of 32 hours of legal work a year, which is considerably higher than the Law Society of South Africa’s guideline commitment. Important deals the firm has advised on include the R30bn (2.8bn) merger between Momentum and Metropolitan Life to create one of the largest listed insurance companies in South Africa. The merger is viewed as an opportunity for both parties to make the merged entity more attractive to institutional investors, which may have shunned Metropolitan in the past due to its size relative to its peers.

Earlier this year, Africa, and South Africa in particular, was in the spotlight for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The drama and controversy on the pitch during the course of the tournament was matched by the levels of excitement in the period leading up to the first match. The organisers went all out to make sure all aspects of the tournament organisation were secure.
