About City
Richards Bay is a town located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In Afrikaans language, it is called Richardsbaai. It is located on a 30 km lagoon of the Mhlatuze River. The river provides one of country's longest harbours. Richard Bay is also well known for having the deepest natural harbour in the Southern hemisphere.
Richards Bay started out as a temporary harbour. Sir Frederick R
Richards Bay started out as a temporary harbour. Sir Frederick Richards, the Commodore of the Cape, established it during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. In 1935, to protect the ecology around the lagoon, the Richards Bay Game Sanctuary came up and got expanded into the Richards Bay Park in 1943. The town had its humble beginnings on the shores of the lagoon in 1954. It was declared a town later in 1969. In 1976, it became a deep water harbour because railway and an oil/gas pipeline were set up to link the port to Johannesburg.
In 1965, it started with the South African Government getting into action. The government decided to build a deepsea harbour at Richard Bay. It was 180 km away from Durban. Construction started in 1972 and the new harbour came up in 1976. As far as the residential properties are concerned, they began to get developed on the north of the harbour. Meerensee that began in 1970 was the first suburb. Then came Arboretum in 1975 and VeldenVlei in 1980. Richards Bay is also home to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal which was once the largest coal export facility in the world.
Apart from other industries like mining, Richards Bay thrives on tourism. It is seen as a gateway to Zululand. It is also an area that foreign tourists like a lot because of its large game parks and wonderful wildlife.
It is also famous for its sports related facilities. As it is closer to Durban and known as a gateway to Durban, Richards Bay was selected as a training base for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. To make sure that it receives the due accreditation by FIFA, a small stadium was set up. In 2011, Zululand Kayak Club was nominated to host the yearly surf ski championship for Single and Double Surf ski formats, 2015 South African Surf Championships were also held here.
