The 18,000 square foot Durban South Africa Temple was constructed on a hillside property near the ocean and the N2 highway in the Izinga development of Umhlanga Rocks, just north of Durban. Umhlanga is one of the fastest growing cities in South Africa, which enjoys a low crime rate and is known for having the largest shopping mall in the southern hemisphere - the Gateway Theatre of Shopping. The Durban South Africa Temple will be the fifth temple built in Africa and the second built in South Africa, following the Johannesburg South Africa Temple (1985).
