Musgrave is a central suburb of Durban, South Africa. It is situated inland and north-west of the Durban CBD, and forms part of the suburban belt known as the Berea. [1]
Musgrave borders on Essenwood to the north, Greyville to the east, Bulwer to the south, and Overport to the west.
Musgrave Centre, a large shopping centre is found in the area, situated along Musgrave Road. Completed in the late 1950s, Musgrave Centre was the first suburban shopping centre in Durban and has undergone a number of revamps over the years, including a R140 million revamp in 2010 and the most recent multi-million revamp in 2024. In 2021, anchor stores, Food Lover’s Market and Dis-Chem were added to the shopping centre’s offerings. [2] [3]
In 2023, SACREF installed the first padel courts in KwaZulu-Natal at the rooftop of the mall. The 2024 revamp focused on the fourth level of the centre, where the cinema space previously occupied by Ster-Kinekor has been replaced with a “Checkers Emporium” which features a high-end Checkers Fresh X, Checkers Pet and Checkers Liquor.
