Durban South Africa Temple[]
The Durban South Africa Temple is the 168th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the 2nd temple completed in South Africa, after the Johannesburg South Africa Temple (1985). This temple is constructed on a hillside property near the ocean and the N2 highway in the Izinga development of Umhlanga Rocks, just north of Durban. Umhlanga is one of the fastest growing cities in South Africa, which enjoys a low crime rate and is known for having the largest shopping mall in the southern hemisphere—the Gateway Theatre of Shopping.
