Grey Street, Durban City Centre
Not too many people are aware that Durban has the largest concentration of Indian people outside of India! Originally brought in during the 1860’s by the British as indentured workers for the sugar cane plantations, many chose to remain after their 4 year contracts had ended and brought their families over from India to Durban and started their new lives as store owners and artisans. Some of the oldest remaining Indian shops and stores in Durban are in Grey Street (now Dr Yusaf Dadoo Street) complex and even today are still bustling and energetic.
