The 414-hectare Isithebe Industrial Estate, strategically located in Mandeni between the ports of Durban and Richards Bay, is one of KwaZulu-Natal’s leading industrial hubs. Ithala provides a fully integrated property management service, including industrial property leasing, maintenance, and the delivery of essential services such as water and electricity supply, waste management, sewage disposal, and fire protection.
The estate accommodates both Ithala-owned and privately owned industrial facilities, supporting a diverse mix of manufacturing and industrial businesses. As a major contributor to the regional economy, Isithebe sustains an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 direct jobs. Based on accepted economic multiplier estimates, Ithala’s investment in the estate positively impacts the livelihoods of 100,000 to 200,000 people.
