Sanctuary: KwaZulu-Natal

Mosques, mandirs and churches along the Dolphin Coast and KwaDukuza

Three traditions side by side

KwaDukuza and Ballito carry mosques, Hindu mandirs and Christian congregations within the same few streets, reflecting the long history of the north coast.

Festivals are the opening

Temple and mosque calendars mark the year here, and festival days are when visitors are most clearly welcomed.

Simple courtesies

Remove shoes where indicated, dress modestly, and ask before photographing interiors.
