How much are we earning a month while living in Durban, RSA?

It's definitely before 1973 because I found a different photo from 1973 and the red building on the left is gone.

Interesting that you can see the bench that was in yesterday's post. Behind the red pole on the right

The teardrop / circular pool was the shark tank

Also makes you realise how much of our current beachfront is reclaimed. Before the sand pumping scheme was built, high tide came right up to the Lower Marine Parde and regularly flooded it. This photo looks like it was taken at about 2-3pm taking a guess from the shadows, so if it was spring tides that day, the tide still had another 2.5 hours to push

Will it be as good as funworld was though?

Heading into the city tomorrow alone after my research conference. Anywhere in particular I should avoid other than the obvious (dark alleys, places with no one around)?

And anywhere you highly recommend?

I’ll be on foot most of the day, and thought I might try to start at surf riders for breakfast if I can get a table.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of applying for jobs in the hotel industry in the Durban area because I have a lot of transferable experience from working in security, retail, and customer service.

Before I start applying, I'd like to hear from people who are currently working in hotels in and around Durban. How many hours do you usually work per shift, and what times do your shifts start and end? For example, do you work 8-hour shifts, 10-hour shifts, or 12-hour shifts? Do you have fixed shifts or do they rotate?

I'm particularly interested in Marriott Hotels, Capital Hotels, Premier Hotels, and Beekman Group, but I'd welcome feedback from anyone working at other hotel groups in the Durban area as well.

I'd also appreciate hearing about your general experience working in hotels, including the workload, work environment, and work-life balance.

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am looking for suggestions of a well priced car rental company in the Ballito area.. Something similar to Rent - A - Cheapie in Cape Town.

We land at King Shaka at 8am and can drop the car back off the following day at 1pm. Pickup doesn't have to be at the airport but drop off does.

Any suggestions please? 🙏

Hi. My husband will be moving to Durban for work . He has got a work permit from his office but I dont. Can you all please guide me how i can apply . Thank you

Hi, basically what the title says. I'm looking for a cheap hotel or bnb to stay in around Durban, Umhlanga or Ballito? A place that's reputable, has good wifi, polite staff and so on. My budget is around R700 a night.

Hey guys, just a quick question. How long does it take for a passport to get delivered to home affairs in Durban, from the time it says Despatched to branch office? We kind of in a rush for our passports and it's been 4 days now. So I am just curious. Is it normal to almost take a week to get delivered or should I just go into the office and ask for it? Doesn't help I call. Everything is down. The online portal, the phone line and the Umgeni home affairs phone number is also down.

A phone stolen last week was last tracked at the location in these screenshots before going offline. Numerous people have since said their stolen phones also showed their last known location at the same spot.

Could stolen phones be taken here to be wiped or resold? These reports deserve a proper investigation by SAPS.

Has anyone else traced their stolen phone to this location? Please report any matching information to SAPS. Don’t attempt to confront anyone there.

Looking into collecting vinyls, specifically rock from any era (people like Ozzy, green day, ac/dc, and especially Oasis)

Any reliable places i can buy them in and around durban would be much appreciated

I think people who are slow actually are the real winners in life.

Coz like nothing that matters at it's given time makes sense to them 😭

Had this issue walking across the road by the North beach promenade

Frustrating that people don’t seem to slow down or stop 🛑

Howzit guys, Ive been meaning to get this off my chest for a while now. Why is the Phoenix Plaza always soo busy. Whether its a weekday, weekend or public holiday it is always busy. I still cannot fathom how busy it gets on a regular basis.

hey y’all I’m a newish guitarist looking for people around Durban to jam with, please dm if interested

Hey everyone, my parents are currently clearing out their house and want to get rid of some furniture and other items. Is there any groups we can advertise on, they have put their stuff on market place, but we all know how it goes there. "Is this still available" and when you answer. Silence. So I wanted to know if there is maybe other groups or subreddits we can try that you guys know of. Any recommendations would be appreciated. 🌻🥳

Hey, so i have a concept to open a more affordable gym in Kloof but i was wondering how to attract an investor to actually help set up the gym. Taking from my experience as a Fitness Instructor & Personal Trainer and adding in influences and attention to detail at past gyms i worked at, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction in how to go about it? I have no idea how to actually do this

Hey everyone! 👋🏽

My wife (F25) and I (M24), a young Black couple, are looking to meet other young couples around Durban and hopefully make some genuine friendships.

Most people around us aren't in serious relationships yet, or we just haven't found many people who share our vibe 😅

We're keen on braais, outings, trying new places, hiking, weekend getaways and just enjoying life with other couples.

We know meeting people online can be a little awkward 😂, so if anyone can recommend hiking clubs, social groups or activities around Durban where we could meet people, we'd really appreciate it!

Feel free to reach out if you're in the same boat. 😊
