Sydenham added to Durban Municipality

Although the municipal area of Durban was quite sizeable, and until 1932 comprised some 12 square miles (31 km²), a number of suburbs developed about its perimeter, and in 1921 village management boards were established at South Coast Junction, Umhlatuzana, Mayville, Sydenham and Greenwood Park.^[2]
