Towns listed near PZB

Among the towns published on this site, the nearest reference points are Pietermaritzburg at 4 km; Durban at 65 km; Port Shepstone at 122 km. That is the fixed town list, not a claim about every settlement in the country.

Don't carry the Pietermaritzburg figure over to Durban. The listed distances are 4 km and 65 km. They are different reference points, so the shorter one is not the distance to the second town. Pietermaritzburg is the associated place name on the airport record, not the location of every hotel.
