The planned R44m development by Ruwaad would have occupied 16,500ha. In addition to the AmaZulu World Theme Park, plans included the largest shopping mall in Africa, a game reserve, six golf courses, residential facilities, sports fields and a statue of Shaka at the
Thukela river mouth. To achieve this, the proposed development necessitated that the eMacambini community be displaced from their rural land and rehoused on less land in a suburban township.
