About Endumeni
The municipality is located 290 km north of Durban and 360 km south-east of Johannesburg, with well-established road, rail and air infrastructure making the Endumeni region the geographic centre of Northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Dundee is the service centre for the abundant Northern KwaZulu-Natal — a town of learning and the geographical and administrative heart of the region. At the base of the Endumeni Mountain, the highest peak in the Biggarsberg range, lies Wasbank, a small town that time appears to have passed by.
A large, well-equipped provincial hospital caters for the whole district.
Dundee and Glencoe have well-established and serviced areas for light-to-medium industry. The towns have a good, consistent supply of water, with six dams and a pipeline from the uMzinyathi/Buffalo River feeding the area. Regional offices of a number of state and provincial departments have been established here, and Endumeni schools are renowned for their high standard of education.
With its variety of service facilities, infrastructure and a stable labour supply, Endumeni offers every opportunity for the businessman, industrialist and investor, as well as the tourist. The Endumeni region offers ideal opportunities for entrepreneurs requiring a distribution depot.
