The Pavilion is the second largest shopping centre located in Durban and one of the largest in South Africa. The mall has went through many phases of extensions.
Due to the strategic location, Pavilion has seen considerable foot count growth. The mall has suffered a few armed robberys.
The Pavilion is no longer of the standards it used to be. This is due to years of neglect.
