This vibrant town is conveniently located near the Chief Albert Luthuli (M4) highway and is surrounded by a number of factories that offer employment to the people of the area. Prospecton, the adjacent industrial area, is the location of South Africa’s largest automobile assembly plant, Toyota. Describing the area’s way of life, Simo “C’mo Money” Maphumulo (23) said: “As the youth, we feel that the nearby factories should look to us first as local people for employment”. Nevertheless, he enjoys living in the area because of the diverse cultures. “We always come to the Lotus Park Car Wash to mix with other races and listen to music,” said Simo. .He said the car wash is one of his hangout spots as it becomes vibey on Sundays with motorists coming to ‘splish splash’ their cars to get ready for the week ahead. The town is built on a high ridge of sand at the mouth of the Isiphingo River and forms part of eThekwini Municipal area. It is named after the river whose name is thought to be derived from the intertwined cat-thorn shrubs present in the area, or the river’s winding course. The town comprises Isipingo Rail, Lotus Park, Isipingo Hills, Orient Hills, Malukazi and Isipingo Beach. The I beach is one of the area's major attractions.
