Fierce conflict with the [[Zulu people|Zulu]] population led to the evacuation of [[Durban]], and eventually, the Boers accepted British annexation in 1844 under military pressure. A British governor was appointed to the region and many settlers emigrated from Europe and the [[Cape Colony]]. The British established a sugar cane industry in the 1860s. Farm owners had a difficult time attracting Zulu labourers to work on their plantations, so the British brought thousands of indentured labourers from India.<ref name="eb1911-cite"/> As a result of the importation of Indian labourers, Durban became the home to the largest concentration of [[Indian South African|Indian]]s outside India.<ref name="indiatimes.com">{{Cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-07-23/mumbai/29807173_1_durban-south-africa-uk | work=The Times of India | title=Durban largest 'Indian' city outside India | first=Anahita | last=Mukherji | date=23 June 2011 | access-date=21 February 2017}}</ref>
