The Giba Gorge Precinct is a public-private partnership between the eThekwini Municipality and private landowners, who pay a special levy towards the upkeep of the area. Of the land in the precinct, half is privately owned, with the balance belonging to the municipality and the South African National Roads Agency. Processes are underway to replace the co-management model through the declaration of the precinct as a nationally recognised nature reserve.
