Recommendations?

Hello everyone. I am relocating from Tennessee to Durban. I need help finding a 4 bedroom apartment in a nice and safe area. any recommendations??

Im done with university and in search of inserve training in Mechanical engineering. I've completed my theoretical studies 6 months ago and I've been empty in a feild this scarce I still can't find a job. I've been browsing for a part time job with LinkedIn, pnet and indeed but to no avail. Life is so empty I don't know anymore I've fallen into deep depression and thrown out any beliefs or religious views life has been a roller coaster and nothing ever comes easy when I do it life takes longer to piece itself compared to my peers (I'm 24) I feel Im playing God in my own life than the Creator himself.

Sup, not sure if its allowed. I was wondering if there's any places to meet women in Kloof or Gillets? I'd rather do it old fashioned instead of using the usual dating apps and the umm...colorful variant of characters you find there if you get what i mean.

I'm a pretty introverted/shy 37yr white male, Just need some recommendations. Stokers & Tipsy Flamingo seems way too busy for that kind of thing

Hi guys, I want to ask if there is someone that can perhaps help a fellow foodie out with a legit Durban Curry masala recipe? I just bought some Durban Curry masala and the lady said it's the only spice I need in my curry, no extra spices, which is legit, and it's an awesome masala, but I would like to make it myself as I'm not realy ever in her area to buy. I don't trust recipes posted on random food blogs, and was hoping someone who has a secret family recipe or a granny that has a great recipe might be able to help.

Following up on the post from a few days ago about the gap between how many people graduate from TVET/FET colleges here and how few land steady work.

Needed urgent plumbing and cleaning work done this week. Got someone genuinely excellent also holds electrician certification from eThekwini College in Overport. Same story as before: real, verifiable skill, still piecing together work one word-of-mouth job at a time.

Genuinely curious though, disclosure aside: would something like this verified pros, certs checked upfront, book directly actually change how you’d find someone, or does trust in this kind of work always come down to word of mouth no matter what app exists?

Not trying to turn this into a pitch, mostly just want the honest answer. If there were a platform that guarantees verified skilled professionals near you to hire from for your on demand service needs would you use the platform?

Happy to share more in the comments if anyone’s curious.

I came back to the States and lost this shirt after traveling. I bought it in the Durban airport and have tried for hours to find it online to no avail. If anyone is going to the airport and can find this, I will do anything to get another one! PLS PLS PLS let me know!

What’s up, runners and joggers? Genuine question here because I’m honestly confused and a bit frustrated. Why do so many runners choose to run on the road when there’s a perfectly good sidewalk or pavement right there? The sidewalk is literally meant for pedestrians, walkers and runners alike. Running on the road just inconveniences drivers and puts yourselves at risk, doesn’t it? I’m a runner too, and I always stick to the sidewalk. So I’m genuinely asking, what’s the reasoning? Help me understand

Hi guys. Hope you are all well. Just hoping to find out about apartments to hire near the beach, or further inland, like by Glenwood/Morningside. I'm looking to rent in a high rise or something like that. Never been out of the house, but time I moved out, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hi everyone!

My partner and I are moving to Durban at the end of this month. We are stuck between two areas - Umhlanga and Sibaya Estate.

We’ve spent plenty of time in Umhlanga so we’re familiar with the area.

However in our search we’ve come across some great apartments in Sibaya Precinct.

I work from home and my partner would be working in Sunningdale so the commute would not be an issue.

We have also heard that the Umhlanga area can become very noisy closer to Gateway.

We both try to go the gym everyday and the closest seems to be VA gateway. So this commute would be done almost daily for us which is another point of hesitation.

Has anyone lived in the area and loved/hated it?

Please could someone who lives in Port Edward or surrounding areas in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality tell me how many dogs you’re allowed on a freestanding property and chickens? Looking to move there but just read something about a dog license? Never in my whole life have I heard of that in SA.

Would be so grateful, internet results are a bit confusing.

Anyone in Durban, preferably DBN North that does embroidery on a small scale? Pocket size in 3 colours. It will only be for about 10 to 15 items

Saw the 2025 matric results — KZN topped every province again with a 90.6% pass rate, and we were apparently the only province where employment actually grew last quarter while the rest of the country was shedding jobs. Good news, on paper.

Then I went looking at what happens after matric — specifically for the huge chunk of students who go the TVET/FET route (trades, technical diplomas) instead of university — and the picture gets a lot murkier.

Some numbers that stood out:

- National TVET college enrolment nearly doubled in a decade, from ~358,000 (2010) to ~673,000 a year (2019)
- The government's own Post-School Education and Training Monitor puts the labour market absorption rate for TVET completers at around 40%
- A DHET destination study tracking 2018 completers found roughly 53% of men and 62% of women still weren't working or studying several years after finishing
- Nationally, youth unemployment (15-24) just hit 60.9% this quarter, and ~3.9 million young people aged 15-24 are NEET — not employed, not studying, not in training

So: record pass rates, growing enrolment, and still a huge number of qualified people who don't end up placed anywhere.

Genuinely asking — anyone here gone through a TVET or FET college in Durban, or know someone who has? What actually happened after? Did the qualification lead anywhere on its own, or was it mostly who-you-know from there?

Hi guys. I have this hobby of collecting foreign bank note currencies from all around the world but it’s hard to get currencies when banks aren’t in stock. I wanted to know if anyone else in Durban also collects currencies and if I could potentially buy them/ swap. I’m currently looking for Euros, Canadian dollars, Swiss franc, and Any middle eastern currencies (besides Saudi, Qatari Royals and UAE Dirhams)

I have 3, S, M and L. To swop for cash. Bought as gifts but never got around to give it before the people emigrated
