Towns listed near RCB
Among the towns published on this site, the nearest reference points are Richards Bay at 7 km; Durban at 161 km; Pietermaritzburg at 192 km. That is the fixed town list, not a claim about every settlement in the country.
Don't carry the Richards Bay figure over to Durban. The listed distances are 7 km and 161 km. They are different reference points, so the shorter one is not the distance to the second town. Richards Bay is the associated place name on the airport record, not the location of every hotel.
Other passenger airports near RCB

Do not mix those figures with a town-to-airport distance.
