"KwaZulu Natal has a robust economy with an established industrial base, a strong commercial sector and excellent services, especially in the telecoms space. We are seeing rapid growth in office park developments catering to high-tech companies, and expansions to the ports and airports will be catalysts for a local economic boom," says Lex van Wyk, managing director of Teraco.
