  <description>&lt;p&gt;The University of KwaZulu-Natal brings together the teaching and research strengths of two major tertiary institutions in the province. The University of KwaZulu-Natal is situated in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, and consists of two centers: one in the coastal city of Durban, and one in Pietermaritzburg some 45 miles inland. Durban is KwaZulu-Natal's largest city and offers an intriguing blend of Eastern, Western and African cultures. Within a stone's throw of the office blocks, theaters, shopping malls and caf&amp;eacute;s of the business center is the Indian Ocean, lined with sand beaches and palm trees.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
