Gateway Theatre of Shopping is a large shopping mall located on uMhlanga Ridge in uMhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Gateway is one of the 100 largest malls in the world.
The mall sees more than two million visitors coming through its doors per month. The centre was modelled on the Mall of America and West Edmonton Mall centres and was developed by Old Mutual Properties.
The construction and opening of Gateway Theatre of Shopping has also been the driving force for many new developments in the area. Originally a sugar cane plantation, the establishment of Gateway on the site has led to the development of a new town centre and both commercial and residential developments within the region. There is also a hotel attached to the mall called the Gateway Hotel operated by AHA Hotels.
