About My Durban

Durban is a major coastal city and the economic hub of the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province in eastern South Africa. Governed by the eThekwini Municipality, it is renowned for its busy seaport, tropical climate, diverse cultural influences (African, Indian, and colonial), and the popular “Golden Mile” beachfront promenade, serving as a premier tourism and industrial center.

    ANC govt is doing a great job of fucking up South Africa ! ” Cry the
    beloved country ” is way more applicable now than it ever was before SA
    became ” free”…Free my ass !!!!!!!?

    Beautiful country but you can’t convince westerners that this is a safe
    country. In western cities , crime happens in designated areas. “Squatters”
    as you call the indigenous black peoples, don’t roam wealthy neighbors. We
    don’t need that much security . The ghetto where I grew up is much less
    beautiful than South Africa but it feels much more safe. ?

    If you true South African you should be defending your country don’t try to
    destroy it by given too much negative stuff out there cus crime is
    everywhere I believe Durban relies on tourism for cash so you causing more
    harm I know that’s your intent this the reason in my point of view why
    blacks question your patriotism to Africa or South Africa?

    Dude really Durban north again really shoot out really dude I’m sorry your
    aunt is telling fibs. I think you trying to imply that it’s black people
    that have this crime rate I’m from Durban never have I heard about this
    shoot out. What paper where you reading that said all these things also
    dude REALLY lol but I think nobody gives a damn about what you just said
    her since your evidence is not valid and I’m sorry not to sound rude who
    listens to an old white women about crime, they ALWAYS have their own
    version of the new South Africa and how much crime it has plus that Durban
    north again REALLY dude what you doing is discrediting the country and the
    city with its citizens in it, you don’t see us posting stupid things about
    where you from nxiiiiiiiiim* that’s me being black* ?

    Just watched this video and i must say and I was laughing so hard at this
    because the narrator looked very paranoid and scared over everything. but I
    would to if I walked around with an old aunty that remember Apartheid S-a
    as the good old days. Just to say 90% of your perception of Durban is
    really, really, really stupid. Durban central a no go area?? really so the
    people that worked and stay there are not up to your standards & every
    black person is a squatter? i bought my house with no fence no yard its
    open and yes I walk at night every night with my 7 year old girl, & i have
    no Gun. I have an suggestion next time you visit. Please feel free to look
    me up ill show you the CBD and all the places your aunty told you to
    avoid. Only thing I cant show you crocodiles cause never seen one in the
    river maybe they were their with the anglo boer war now they all dead.?

    Typical pissed off English speaking old white man, I say English speaking
    because I prefer Afrikaans white people. English white people have alot to
    say about the Afrikaners who were in power and implemented Apartheid,
    acting like they were the good guys. You sir are a strange individual, I
    read that you are from South Africa but you cannot even pronounce a Zulu
    road name in your video, you look like you have alot of issues with the way
    the world is changing due to certain circumstances. You look silly behind
    your video camera making a mock of a beautiful city, go back to Canada?

    Thanx for creating this video. I grew up in Durban. I left South Africa in
    1997 for America and had not returned for a visit. It sad to see a lovely
    city go down to this level.?

    Thank you for making this video. I lived in Durban for 20 years and
    returned to visit last month. You have capture the growing sense of fear
