Initially used as a market space by Indian traders during apartheid, the area become popular with black traders towards to the end of apartheid. == Markets ==

Warwick Junction is home to nine distinct markets, where informal and formal traders sell a variety of products, from food to traditional medicine. There are approximately 5,000 to 8,000 vendors in the area. Berea Station Market, located near two rail stations, has vendors selling traditional Zulu items such as spears and shields, as well as modern clothing and technology items. Vendors also sell incense known as impepho, which is believed to help with communication with one's ancestors. The impepho vendors are almost exclusively from Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape Province, who collect the herbs that grow in that area and travel to Durban to sell them. Victoria Street Market was founded in 1910 as the Indian Market, and consists of 180 traders with individually owned stores selling jewellery, spices, and traditional art. == Transportation ==

The Warwick Triangle area became an important transportation hub during apartheid, as Indian and African-owned buses were not allowed access to the inner city. Today, the area is the largest transportation hub in the city, with a taxi rank, bus rank, and railway stations linking to the city's different nodes. == References ==
