About Ladysmith

Ladysmith, in KZN, sits right on the N11 between Joburg and Durban, so it's a natural stopover if you're driving the long haul. Locals nip out to Colenso, Winterton or Bergville on the R103 and R74, especially for weekends up in the Drakensberg, while Harrismith is the regular 93 km run north. About three fast EV chargers are nearby for the trip. Fun fact: the old Town Hall clock tower still bears a Boer shell scar from the 118-day siege back in 1899.
