Agricultural Giant Tongaat Hulett Delisted from JSE Amid KwaDukuza Boom
What happened
Tongaat Hulett, an agricultural giant, was delisted from the JSE last week. This occurred as the arrival of King Shaka International Airport sparked a local economic boom in KwaDukuza. The proposed sale of Tongaat Hulett's businesses remains unresolved.

Why it matters
The delisting of Tongaat Hulett signals a major change in the local economy, which has shifted from relying almost entirely on agriculture to becoming a modern, upmarket residential and tourist destination. The growth in KwaDukuza is attributed to the airport's arrival and Tongaat Hulett's residential estate development.
