In today's video, I visited the coastal city of Durban, the 3rd largest city in South Africa to see for myself if Durban is truly an Abandoned city in South Africa
Enjoy.

@@truesouth6532 I am an academic and not a politician. But from what I have researched, most apartheid-era elections went according to the propaganda of the day. Currently there seems to be the same situation that most voters do not think about the real issues, or whether another representative could improve his/her say in parliament, but rather to vote according to old connotations or new propaganda. As much as I love the SA youth of the 2020s, they are politically naive and easily absorbed by the empty promises of rogue politicians. So sad.

We lived in Durban for 7 years and it was wonderful. Went to Ushaka at least once a week. Had to relocate to Gauteng for business which was horrible. After three years we gave up and moved to Orania because we're Afrikaans but Durban and its wonderful people will always have a special place in my heart. I hope they can solve the crime issues but in my opinion KZN needs full independence to escape from the shadow of Johannesburg and Cape Town (the most overrated place in SA btw). Not once did I experience discrimination or unkindness from anyone in Durban and because the Zulu people are so obviously dominant demographically they are actually very gracious about it. Indian food is faaaaaantastic!!!! Kuswag skool in Amanzimtoti was an excellent school for my children with pure, deep rooted Christian values and wonderful teachers. Baie dankie Durban!!!!!

I think you are still suffering from a hungover if separate developments, that why you ultimately moved to Orania. It’s not easy to relearn new ways at the old age. You were raised to see whites as superior and indoctrinated among those lines. No matter how hard you try to hide it will always come. You are a victim of false religious believe that Afrikaners are covenant nation and blacks are wood cutter who deserve nothing best in life. Unfortunately this keep under false sense of security that you are saved and that you are barter. The danger of this believe is that you directly live as the enemy of the cross. If you can accept this truth Gid can start a journey of rehabilitation in you. You can’t live in love and hatred at the same time. You also can’t put old wine into new wine skin. Leave your old simple ways and Gid will accept you.

As a South African we are often spoilt and often do not appreciate how privileged we are. Middle class South Africans have a better more abundant lifestyle than most people in first world countries. It's only when I was dealing with a lot of foreign tourists in Cape Town recently that I realized how privileged we are and how much we take for granted. So many South Africans emigrate due to our negativity and return shortly ofter with a completely different outlook and appreciation for our country.

(I lived there from 2019-2022) However, after living through the horror of the riots, floods, the badly run municipality (we would often have electricity without days because sub stations kept blowing up) crumbling infrastructure, and Ecoli ridden sea, we decided to move back to the Western Cape. I miss our friends terribly.. but I left Durban feeling traumatized.I hope the problems get fixed. It is a beautiful province with so much potential.

South Africa is a country of immense beauty, captivating all who are fortunate enough to call it home. With its diverse landscapes, from majestic mountains to pristine coastlines, it offers a natural splendor that is hard to match. The vibrant cultures and rich history further enhance its appeal, creating a tapestry of experiences that leave a lasting impression. Interestingly, there are critics who voice their opinions about South Africa but choose to stay within its borders, especially among the Caucasian population. This paradox raises questions about whether they truly appreciate the country's beauty or overlook it in their everyday lives. Despite the critics, South Africa's allure remains undeniable. Its natural wonders, cultural diversity, and historical significance make it a truly enchanting place to live. From its awe-inspiring landscapes to its vibrant communities, the country offers an extraordinary blend of experiences. While it is puzzling that some critics never leave, their voices serve as a reminder to pause and reflect on the beauty that surrounds them. South Africa continues to beckon those with an adventurous spirit and an appreciation for the extraordinary, ready to embrace its wonders and create a life in this remarkable nation.

It's not just the whites who whinge incessantly about SA, but that is beside the point. Most of the whingeing concerns corruption and crime, not natural beauty, and most national parks are only solvent because of the year-round tourism that white people bring to them. Go to any Sanpark, KZN or Cape Nature reserve to see for yourself. You'll see seas of white people, a smattering of coloureds and Indians, and a small number of black people. Some fear that the lack of appreciation of these reserves among the majority will actually lead to their destruction, something that *cannot* happen because South Africa remains one of most biodiverse places on earth and its wildlife must be protected at all costs.

Really great video! Culturally, Durban is unique for its Zulu, Indian and English influences. Travel outside of KZN and you very quickly realise how different the rest of SA is in that regard. Way less Zulus, Indians and English white South Africans in such high concentrations. I once saw an ad describing Durban as 'Africa's Miami'.

Durban has the potential to be the best city in Africa. But sadly it's been pillaged and plundered by a corrupt municipality for too many years. The cbd is disgusting and dangerous. (Which is why most big business has moved to Umhlanga) , and the crime is horrific. Pretty much every middle class area is surrounded by shacks and shanty towns, so there is a lot of break ins and worse. I have lived in Durban for 35 years, but I would gladly leave if I could. The grime and filth is just too much. I worry for my kids safety as I have been a victim of crime many times. Home invasion, muggings, been shot at twice, been hijacked, plenty of petty theft etc.

I located to Melbourne from Johannesburg 20 years ago. Every year I go to SA and I definitely go to Durban. My Aussie husband loves the culture food and vibes. The first time we went there my sister told him not to give any money to beggars, instead to buy things from street vendors. He couldn’t resist giving money to two kids. Within seconds he was surrounded by a cloud of children demanding money. He, and I, thought they would carry him away. 😅 we still go but he is more wary and mindful of safety, especially where he thinks he can walk. Having said that, he absolutely loves the Zulu culture and loves the surrounding countryside.

One thing I've realised about South Af3ica is how cheap accommodation is over there.. very nice luxurious locations infact .. wow.. only 650use for that.. ? That's a single hotel room price and maybe even some lodges and guest houses price for that in Botswana. But overall I'd rather go to Cape town than Durban

I honestly thought the Durban Tourism Board would react after the unfortunate AKA incident and those devastating floods with such PR to try and reassure tourists... dunno if they reached out to you Steven because something needs to give. Security is a serious issue and it's sad that leaders just get bodyguards and leave ordinary people on their own. I'm talking from experience...and to be honest I have nothing against the place because it's lovely.

Dangerous to you sis am from northern KZN ballito to be specific n I spent most of my life in Durban growing up it was a heaven on earth never saw myself living elsewhere than the world cup came with problems some people never left to go wherever they come from may it be asia or within africa building hijackings started illegal dumping on the roads started alot nje Durban is not the same anymore it's way more dangerous than jozi with rampant gun violence n crime it's turned into a shithole not to mention the crumbling infrastructure I was there to visit my parents last week n the smell of raw sewage was unbearable by Virginia circle I'd choose jozi over Durban anytime anyday

Yoo I fell in love with Durban , i visited three times. Sherpstone, Mtwalume and and there was this place close to iFafa Beach 🏖 I forgot that guest lodge. I enjoyed the welcoming of the Zulus, as I was talking my hybrid Ndebele of Zim they loved that I wasn’t hiding myself. And we get along nicely Still today we chat on watsup. I can tell you only if you give some people respect you will be respected too, .
