Prospecton is an industrial suburb located south of Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
It is bordered by the defunct Durban International Airport to the north, Isipingo Beach to the east, Amanzimtoti to the south, Lotus Park to the south-west and Isipingo to the west.
Location[]
Prospecton lies 19 km south-west of Durban's city centre and south of the defunct Durban International Airport, which was replaced by the King Shaka International Airport in La Mercy in 2010. It forms part of the South Durban Basin which is the main industrial hub/district of Durban and is the southernmost industrial suburb of the district.[2]
It is the location of the Toyota South Africa's assembly plant, the only Toyota assembly plant in Africa. The industrial suburb consists mainly of large manufacturing plants and warehouse / distribution facilities.
The N2 freeway cuts through the suburb and links to the N3 (to Pietermaritzburg and Johannesburg), King Shaka International Airport and KwaDukuza in the north and Port Shepstone in the south.
