Large-scale Industrial Premises - Mobeni

Mobeni form part of the greater South Industrial Basin region. Mobeni West is situated west of South Coast Road and is primarily occupied by large-scale industrial premises geared towards manufacturing. Mobeni East forms part of the township of Dunns Grant. The Mobeni East and Jacobs Industrial node is bisected by the Inkosi Albert Luthuli Freeway (M4) and is in an area south of the Harbour and north of the Durban Airport.
