Sugar has been the major economic activity in what is now Kwazulu Natal,  formerly Natal and Zululand for nearly 200 years. It has been a story of clashing worlds and cultures, Western and African, Imperialism, settlers coming to a new land to make new lives, making of great fortunes, creation of dynasties, conflict and treachery leading to war between the settlers and the Zulus and finally the conflict between the powerful old families leading to a massive takeover battle leading to consolidation of the industry into two massive organisations operating internationally.
