- As filmmakers that live in Durban, we documented the collapse of our home town. In a three part mini episode titled - Durban Is Collapsing.
Filmed from 17th November - 2nd December 2022.
In collaboration with The Litterboom Project.
This is the full version.
As the province slides into a state of disrepair,
with thousands of litres of raw sewage running into our oceans and rivers, making our people sick. The state of our beaches filthy and litter strewn.
The municipality’s and governance of KZN have failed us.
With special thanks to all the contributors and people, who continue to expose the truth and fight for the preservation and believe in the potential of #OurDurban

The whole of South Africa is collapsing.
Thats so true.
Brought to you by your favorite cupcake leader
Is it collapsing or it has collapsed?
@@kwandakekana9890 he found it collapsing.it has been collapsing slow motion
It's gone dear down the drain apartheid was much better than this freedom
As a citizen of Durban , this has been unbearable to watch and it is high time that we take a stand against our municipality who is blatantly failing our city!!
Agree. And yet they charge us so much money in Municipal rates
The ppl of Durban don't care much either. I've seen way too many ppl such their head in the sand. It's sad.
I agree
The city cleaned up in 2010 to host the fifa World Cup so they need to do the same now. Use that same money to clean up. We don’t even have to build stadiums. 😢
@@kathrynarmstrong8441 Well said
Welcome to Zimbabwe, we've been expecting you!
This is the “radical transformation” the ANC promised us.
Welcome to South Africa. It's not just happening in Durban. It's happening all over South Africa.
Visit Cape Town.
My heart breaks as a 72 year old citizen of KZN. Not only for our province but for our country.
Yes, and it keeps getting worse both because of those in power and because of everyone who still doesn’t use their hearts and brains and acts like any others exist for them and nothing is their own doing
Let us take African national corruption out of power
Atleast you live in times where it was good ma but sad you had to see this day
@Razeya Banu when was it ever good?
@@etvscandalfanpage2011 before "democracy"🙄
Great effort, team!! We live in a little Midlands town in KZN, and we're currently fighting against the apathy of indifference and corruption. The surprising thing is since the roits of 2021, we've become far closer knit community (read into that a none BEE compliant community). Today, our little village is united across race barriers and is far more confident to take on the various guieses of our failed government. We're winning small, almost insignificant victories every month (wish it was every week), but we're making an impact. My point is you guys are legends don't give up the good fight.
Its totally unacceptable and disgusting. The ANC will chase away investment and our beautiful Durban is totally under threat due to this incompetent ANC.
Never fear the Chinese will invest 100%
ANC ruined Durban...
ANC ruined everything even our lives are ruined!!
ANC ruined everything in this once beautiful country 😥
And everyone who doesn’t use their hearts and brains and still consumes nonhuman animal products in any way.
ANC ruined S Africa!
ANC ruined South Africa
There is only one solution: Get rid of the ANC. Stop paying tax until they leave.
It's an idea. A mobilisation of this sort is a plan boycott the government. March to parliament lock them inside
The $#!T started the day Mandela was released from prison. That may be a hard fact to swallow, but what we're seeing now is a culmination of years and years of dysfunctionality and destruction created by this looting ANC DIRTBAGS, ever since they came to power.
Go back to 1992, and ask who was allowed to vote in that referendum, and what did they vote? What we see now is the fault of the ruling party then. Nobody can ever say they weren't warned what would happen.
@@martintheunissen7847that vote was to end apartheid, so you would rather apartheid still existed ..disgusting
@@sve5543 He’s saying that because he and his lovely family were never affected by apartheid because of their pale skin. So for them is easy to spew nonsense
What is happening to all the money that people are paying on rates and taxes??? This needs to start at the very top! Our family used to go twice a year to Durban for school vacations...we looked so forward to it...the Rickshaw pullers, the beautiful hotels...my first memory of Durban is in June of 1959, playing in the beautiful ⛱ sand
We haven't been back since 2011 and that is so sad 😞
I lived there from 1972-1976 and loved the clean city and its fantastic beaches, so sad to see it now.
Besides the depressing subject matter, this is really good cinematography👌🏾
I used to holiday in Durban since I was 3. I’m 25 now and the deterioration of Durban; I am shocked. It is actually heartbreaking.
Are you vegan and an activist then?
Either way it’s not shocking, and tragically nothing new either, and it is,, keep getting worse if more people don’t start using their hearts and brains and become vegan and do something about those people in power.
Thina we older the whole of south Africa was beautiful back in the 90s before ANC took over!
We have to take better care of mother earth! Trash is a bigger problem than carbon emissions.
@@Cassxowary Fertilizer and pesticides are used to grow vegetables you know! It's going to take far more than that to change the problem, there's 8 billion people here. It's really getting close to a cull of the human population 😕. You first 😆
I live in Durban. The way this video portrays in highly exaggerated. Durban promenade is still a lovely place to go, my family and I go cycling there every weekend and we love it. Yes, the water is not great, but that is to be expected after major (and I mean major) flood a few months ago that destroyed all infrastructure. Yes, it should have been repaired by now, I agree, but Durban is stills lovely place to go.
Born and Bred in Durban - this is heartbreaking man
This is a good message but let's take time to comment on the great editing and the shots taken of this film. The manner in which the shots are organised with the information and how masterfully it's all been intercut.
Over the years as a Tour Guide in southern Africa, I've seen no other City which declined like Durban in the past 10 years only. And now it seems a little too late to fix it. Sad country we live in.
Don't fight set up a bank account and pay a company who can fix the problem and stop paying the municipality. Because they ca not provide a service.
Unbelievable!
The world is collapsing. Inflation is through the roof.
@@Will-nb8qk we doing just fine thanks
All property rates should be paid to a publically (not politically) elected Infrastructure Maintenance Authority, who can individually be held accountable for their successes or failures 💔
Only ONE solution. The PEOPLE have to take back the POWER. Dismantle bureaucracy (Government, Municipalities) brick by brick
And still keep the Current government in power?
Indeed yes. The situation is shameful and the municipal fat cats should be held to account for this.
I have lived in Durban for nearly 60 years and in all that time nothing as deplorable and disgusting as this has ever happened before. Shame on you municipality. You personally should be made to clean up your mess, literally. We pay you for nothing less than a proper good days work. If you had, none of this would be happening.
The mountain Village Hogsback did so years ago. Nearby city of Alice (once a beautiful thriving town) went to court to try and grab that money. Still dragging on.
The citizens need to take responsibility to pay rates , help clean the beaches , rivers and stop littering and polluting the environment. The municipality need to do their job fix the infrastructure. Politicians to stop corruption putting money in their pockets. Otherwise those in power position who do not do their jobs should be forced to resign.
I wish you could also show the slum that is Durban central. I always wonder how rhe gvt don't see this decay.or don't they care anymore. It is so heartbreaking to watch our once great city smell like shyt, riddled by crime, businesses falling apart including mine. Great doccie guys
Deeply saddening video to watch… but on that note this is an amazing channel! 👀 Can’t believe the ‘Professional’ videography and editing!
please please continue to share and expose - most people know nothing
and we need this to go viral
Let the world know about this anc mess in this country.
Sharing...this is awful 😖
We need to stop polluting, not for this to go viral, unless you want to share as a wake up call for every subject to take individual responsibility AND RECONSIDER THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROBLEM.
@@Yusuf-my5qo
The world knows this country is in a mess that's why we don't get any foreign investment.
Everyone is too focused on glossy Umhlanga 😆
Nice to say that the community must come together to fix this, so we need to dig deeper into our pockets and still pay rates and taxes for the government to sit back and enjoy watching us do their jobs. We need to come to an agreement to use our rates and taxes to pay contractors thats screened and passed by an independent company to fix up the infrastructure and then vote in our own maintenance team to upkeep it.
Only ONE solution. The PEOPLE have to take back the POWER. Dismantle bureaucracy (Government, Municipalities) brick by brick
Gotta start with not funding your abuser, I identify as tax exempt. 😉
All the fatcats have Mercs, BMW's, palaces and loaded purses now and the country is falling apart. There is absolutely nothing that this ANC government can pat themselves on the back for as the reality is that the entire country's citizen that are not part of this current regime, are suffering terribly under their rule. Time to take back our future as these people are flushing it down the toilet!!!
That and use your hearts and brains and go vegan...
Absolutely, dry up the supply, but I can't see that happening. People stand together when there is fear being promulgated (lockdown as a case study). People in general will not stop paying taxes because they fear the repercussions more than the decay. It's an individual act which requires a leader before it can become viable. Withholding taxes is frowned upon by good meaning people even if the beneficiaries are corrupt.
Great informative video! As an avid patriot of our beautiful country! I really hope these issues will be fixed soon! It is so important that we as South African citizens should take responsibility for our environments.
Its exhausting to fight when the bulk of people are not fighting
So sad to see my hometown which was once so beautiful decaying into slum.
Problem is the leading party is quite happy to see the whole South Africa become a slum
South Africa has become a slum. Thanks to ANC.
THAT'S WHO THE ENEMY IS
The joke is that Mandela said to FW de Klerk on SABC in 1993 that the days of the gravy train are over...
...and the voters still vote as if that was true.
He was right about the National Party gravy train of course, but had too much faith in the ANC movement to be moral and just. By 1998 he realised the true nature of the monsters he's leading and decided he's too old for this ish
The gravy train started when the British took everything. But of course "gravy train" and "state capture" and "corruption" can never be connected to Empires who got there by trading in slaves. No, they are still held up as the solution!
100 percent it's no more gravey train , it's now the gravy plane.
I agree that if we all stand together we can fix the problem. However we all pay rates and taxes that is put aside for this type of maintenance to be done all year round.
Possibly need to start there and make the people accountable how are not doing what they were employed for.
Commie lies.....
Thanks so much bro. Your videos are so helpful. Really appreciate ya
I visited durban in November and was so sad to c the neglect along the beachfront, I travelled from ireland and had 2 previous trips to this fascinating land so I sincerely hope the government gets their act together
Don't hold your breath.
Yeah not gonna happen bro in a couple of years they will look back on this video and pine for the condition of the beaches shown here.
Lack of maintenance due to corruption. Those responsible for management of affairs don't care. Well done ANC.
It's sad because everything the new govt has taken over has steadily deteriorated . I greave for our once beautiful cities 😢
What’s the point there are white people behind those people we call useless. They are puppets/ a front.
@@Bee-dp3st The rate payers of durbs desperately need an alternative to the governing system of our municipality , our citizens can't continue to give our money to these people ! It's just not working for us , we need desperately for something to change ...
@@cecildennis-o9l Your idea is admirable but you do realise they have the power. You will either be without power, water, your home or all of it could be removed if you don't pay up. That is the problem. There are too many people who don't care what happens to the city and will still vote for them, despite the fact they don't have any decent medical, school, electricity, water or housing services, but they blindly vote for the ruling party.
@@gretatillett1100 spot on, when people keep voting for corrupt and incompetence individuals sadly that is what you get!!!
That and nonhuman animal products production and consumption causing that too wena...
Brilliant Production. subbed and cant wait for your next video
This makes me sad to see how it’s deteriorating! SA had some of the best beaches in the world. I grew up in Durban I live in the US now, man I’m devastated! I hope you guys and pull it together before it’s 2 late.
if you volunteer they will fight you but if you wait for them you won't see any difference...... our government has failed us dismally and i've never seen any country losing it value this fast
ANC turns Gold in to Rust Dust 😭😭❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
i want this video to go even more viral great work guys
I grew up in Durbs and the Midlands in the 80s and 90s. Durbs was the Miami of Africa. Paradise on earth.
One Man, One Vote was a mistake.
The problem is also not prioritizing maintenance of what we already have
Do they have a clue what is MAINTENANCE, the current " rookie" political leaders have no clue, concept about Municipal Politics & Administration. These politicians/administrators of today all what they know is to occupy public office and generate money for themselves and friends. Millions or Billions of public money is not for service delivery, but is for their friends to become rich/millionaires, smoke cigars, expensive trips to overseas. Go out there and audit all municipal projects, completed/not completed, you'll shocked about what they have charged.
A project of R200 million will be completed with R50 million, R150 MILLION squandered/looted. There is disaster funds in government, even foreign countries are contributing to it. Durban qualified to that fund. But how much was collected/allocated. Durban beeches are not closed for CONSTRUCTION. They are closed because it is not environmental safe to be there. Durban Municipality Politicians/Project managers are nowhere to be found, they're THUMB SUCKING.
Cape Town municipality has a vision. What's Durban future development, 5yrs, 10yrs vision?. NONE. Municipal managers, Financial managers, Planners etc. are dreaming about how they can register contractors to provide scam services to Durban Municipality, POLITICAL/ FINANCIAL HYENAS ON THE LOOSE
And not prioritising what’s most important, nature and the planet and all life on her
Corruption and incompetence needs to be solved first.
The solution is simple... don't vote a&c.
Well we’ve been waiting since 1994 for that to happen. Corruption and incompetence is now so entrenched it’s not going to change. And as for asking for transparency Laugh out Loud; why would the ruling party show the citizens how their money is spent? They don’t care
@@squattakamper7045 sad thing is people are still going to vote for them
It's sad to see my hometown in such a mess 😢
Another outstanding ANC achievement.
As shocking as it is the people will vote for the same people because they were handed a parcel of food that last for a short while and the vicious circle goes on and on.
Relax ANC is definitely and finally going in 2024. I haven't heard people supporting anything ANC. Which hasn't been the case in the past. Even the parcel recipients are saying, "ANC thinks their fools." Their done!! But can the opposition get it together and stop being little children? That we will have to see.
South Africans should start voting for progress, NOT change, change does nothing, progress works! But responsibility comes with progress
I wouldn’t vote 🗳️ for any other party especially DA because white people in south South Africa 🇿🇦 don’t want to work together with black South Africans. Apartheid has divided us as South Africans and still during Nelson Mandela administration whites never listened to Mandela for us to come together. Municipality will not perform as long as blacks and whites are not working together.
@@shakabarkertours6532 fcking well said
Voting brought this about. Before SA became British it did not look like this.
Durban will not be fixed while the ANC are in power there.
Only ONE solution. The PEOPLE have to take back the POWER. Dismantle bureaucracy (Government, Municipalities) brick by brick
Great job Panga Films! Please bring more content country wide.
We left SA in 77 and Durban did have beautiful and clean beaches.Then I watched video of Durban and was horrified of human pollution of ocean and beaches.😢
I've lived in KZN for 25 years seeing this happening it's a downfall from our government
This was the major tourist destination because of the sunny warm weather.......just 30 years ago. Very sad to see the decay and neglect throughout this once first world standard country.
Should change the name Durban to DIRTBIN
Yes, well, that’s who’s currently in power as well as the production and consumption of nonhuman animal products...
@@luxiemaharaj7263 😂😂😂😂
That time people are paying taxes, electricity, water etc. You get arrested and held accountable if you don’t but they aren’t held accountable when it’s time to play their part and the truth is even going to court won’t work…the court itself is a for profit company that is not meant to help “people.” The youth gets affected too because this is where they can come together and be in a safe space, creatives can’t create and people can’t make money. It’s a whole movie at this point
Wow, amazing how this video is booming! 7 days ago I was subscriber number 532! Now there are over 1800 Subscribers! Well done Panga Films! I would love to meet up with you and grab a coffee sometime!
It will never be fixed, this is perfectly normal for an African country.
Strange that the people complaining is building houses next to rivers and throwing their papers everywhere.
We need only to give responsible tax paying adults voting rights that are competent to make decisions.
is that what happened? 🤡
Comment for the algorithm!! Thank you for the upload and awareness!!
As a child I visited Durban and Umhlanga. Those wonderful memories of the fantastic nature will stay with me for ever. What we are seeing here is a crime. A crime against nature and humanity. Those responsible (and being paid) for looking after the infrastructure and process should be held accountable - and then qualified people who truly care, installed to fix this dire situation.
Action S.A.You need to mobilise the people of Durban to march to City Hall. We are paying rates and for services .Where is the money going.
The people of Durban needs to speak with their votes, this adhoc trying to fix things as they fail should be a fing embarrassment for the gov!
Not only are we paying exorbitant rates, we are paying very high rates for water services and also SEWAGE!
I would like to know where all that money is going if not one single thing gets fixed!?
The ANC are getting rich on your rates and taxes money start kicking thier arses .
Anc members have stolen all the funds allocated for the city
Personal security and pocket money to the mayor...
It's the sadness in everyone's faces and voices for me 😔. I personally haven't been to Durban in 4 years but from the videos and pictures I've been seeing, I'm utterly disgusted. Sies Ethekwini municipality!!! 🤢you had one job, one easy job, to keep an already beautiful city beautiful, that's it. Durban doesn't need much by it's nature. A lot of work needs to be done and those corrupt scumbags need to be voted out!
I am shocked & frankly horrified at what has become of the city I called home for 14 years or so. I now live in the UK, but I tell people here how beautiful Durban is (or was) & how much I miss it. My children were born here & would love to visit but we are told by friends that the city isn’t safe enough to come out for a holiday. My parents brought me here in 1976 & are now buried here. The memories of this beautiful city are fortunately safely in my head. God bless all Durbanites I hope that one day the city Fathers mange to turn this place around & make it a great place to live once again. God bless Durban.
Very well made video, highlighting that we can’t blame everything on politics, and that real change is done by the people not the politicians. The sooner we do this, the sooner things will change.
A well produced documentary. Thanks for creating content that we the people of South Africa need to be seeing. One can only start trying to make a difference when one's eyes has been opened and this film sure has opened mine. Durban can for sure be saved. If not by its goverment, then by its people.
The country should be put into capable hands Durban was once a beautiful place to be
How sad - i hope you get the community on your side - if everyone is on the same team it can work
Zimbabwe we have arrived, thank you,
Not just Durban, but everything!!!
Durban is fast becoming dilapidated...it's not just the beaches. The state of our CBD, roads and residential areas is shocking. Regular monitoring and maintenance will prevent many of our present challenges, however, nobody in the positions of authority seem to be invested in it's upkeep and people in positions of authority are not held accountable. We have some of the best beaches in our beautiful country. If we, the people, join forces to fix the problem (and I believe we will step up and deliver) we will be enabling the present malpractices to continue. It's sad that future generations may not be able to enjoy the beauty of our country unless the people in positions of authority care deeply enough to just do what is required of them. Nothing more, nothing less. It does not have to be this way. It can be turned around!
Free state is already dilapidated 😭
The whole of SA is going down the toilet. Such a shame as it used to be a nice country.
That's the ANC their own country is a mess nothing is right but the want to take on Israel for defending themselves what a big mistake every year there's between 25000 to 30000 murders in this country but they are worrying about Israel corruption rapes and and and 😢😢
Awesome to create awareness guys .. good job … I hope this doesn’t fall on deaf ears and i hope to see a change …
I grew up on those beaches. Fishing with my dad, picnicking with family, campus lunch break bonnet bunny chows, you name it we were at the beach. Today for me to say I can't take my son there and share with him what my parents shared with me is truly sad and heart breaking. We need to fight to get back the beauty of our city and its beaches.
Great short documentary! Congratulations!
It is really sad, being an ex-Durbanite seeing what has happened to a city where I as a young man who used to enjoy, freedom, and entertainment during the early seventies. Then there was order and respect for the environment and surroundings. Durban was Durban, unfortunately, the country has fallen into wasted rule, mismanagement and the excuses that are tabled are just appalling. You cannot get weaker than this. It stinks.
you mean during Apartheid.....
Its heartbreaking so see whats happening!!
@@alternativeview99 yes, when life was better for all!
Yes, no more respect for anyone or anything, especially those victimised, which destroys not only self but causes this and the worst and s,ow ending to all life on is planet and the planet herself...
@Alternative View hey country was in a better state. Just 30 years of rule from the Anc and all gone to shit. Look at Africa show me one black leader in Africa that can actually run a country successfully , none. Every black leader is corrupt and is easily bought over. Qadaffi was the only black successful leader mined you he was an Arab. He never begged or took anything from the west he refused to be bought over.
Terribly sad. Share info on the public organizations where people can get more info and assist. Also agree in this video being subtitled to various other local languages.
I spoke to my local councillor about this. It's worse than you can imagine he sys, even with new governance it will take 20 to 15 years to fix . He drew me a diagram which blew my mind!!
What else did you expect ANC
not the anc , the culture ruclips.net/video/Bi1K-0q5NOg/видео.html
Only ONE solution. The PEOPLE have to take back the POWER. Dismantle bureaucracy (Government, Municipalities) brick by brick
Sad to see this . Ex Durbanite also but this is happening all over S.A . It can only take all of us the people to put this right and stand together against this devastation of our beautiful country... The rot needs to go...
And when you go to court to sue the municipality, in the end who pays for the lawyers and the fines? the citizens who go to court.
Lived in KZN for over 40 years. Just got too much for us. Immigrated and much happier. Just so sad to see this.
Thank you for creating this!
Please keep posting as people take initiative and start addressing this.
I salute all the honourable locals who step up to try and address this
Thanks ANC
I was at Durham Beach this year and I tell you it is in a Sick State of Mind.
The whole of South Africa is sadly collapsing, and is becoming like Zimbabwe very fast. We need to standup as a Nation against corruption and the self-serving government behind it.
Well done to all these folk who're working so hard to fix this problem. However, unfortunately, I don't think there can be a long term fix until - as one of the interviewees here said - "the people at the top must stop eating money". Time to hold those people at the top accountable in public. Shame them, hold their feet to the fire, take them to court, whatever it takes!
The trouble is, the ANC have purposely and willingly disabled the courts from functioning properly. To take something like this to court will cost millions, with no guaranteed outcome - in fact it would likely take 15 years to sort out.
And more people who act like they’re at the top must stop eating, wearing, torturing, slaughtering, etc those they see as beneath them and force to be...
And I agree, everyone who doesn’t use their heart and brain and isn’t vegan and maybe even activist too needs to be held accountable.
And the politicians and stuff too.
Some of us do work as hard as we can to but too many just destroy and try to stop those of us trying to fix their mess...
If the president can get publicly away with stealing R4 million (December 2022} then what are the odds of anybody else getting convicted and staying in jail. EG Shaik, Guptas, Zuma, etc it seems to me a majority of public officials consider theft and corruption perks of their jobs.
Please add CC/ Subtitles in isiZulu so that this video can reach a wider audience.
I believe half the population would still be unable. Thanks to the government and how they run education
I wish we could take politics out of this situation but we can't! It's a crying shame what politics is doing not only to Kzn but throughout South Africa.My South African citizens we need to stand up and get back to the struggle! We have been sitting down way too long,things will never change if we don't stand up and fight.So stand up and mobilize my fellow people!
I am 41 years old. I was born in Durban and still live here. Over the years I have joined the Parks Board honorary offices and various other organizations that were involved in clean up operations and wildlife care and protection, so I did not just sit around and complain like was mentioned in the report above. However every time any of the organizations started up and started doing well and becoming a success, some one from our lovely government would come and make things hard and difficult to continue on, eventually leading to its collapse . You see they do not like it when people come along and do their jobs( which they they are being paid extremely well for I might add) and do it far more efficiently and effectively than they could possibly ever could. This is not a rant on politics, race or religion, this is about criminals that steel our tax money and use it to fuel their lavish life styles and full their pockets with tax payers money. And that's all there is to this situation here in Durban and the whole of our beautiful country, our failed state.
ANC! Since ANC lost Umhlathuze LM/Richards Bay, we can see improvement a bit by bit. Bay Hall and Pool in MeerEnSee have totally become disfunctional.
Durban is a mess, ANC doesn't even see or acknowledge the mess they are causing.
At the beach, why do they close the public toilets at 5:30pm while there are thousand of people/visitors still enjoying the shore? The public toilet should not be closed especially during the feastive or close around 11pm. People end up using the bush at the beach to release themselves.
Good question indeed. Closing toilets at 5.30pm, but people are still around. Amazing
It should closed late out of season.
However holiday season it should be 24 hours.
With more cleaners and security.
Why they don't think like us normal people is beyond me
100% true, yes obviously IFP will not be able to fix decades worth of destruction in 1 year. But so far they are bringing about visible change
@@Lulu-wv1nt Thank God Lulu they don't think like "normal" people who mess and are the real cause of the problem and expect other humans to be "cleaners". ANC does not cr@p on the beach. It's "normal" people, who mess and expects others to clean up their mess. Why did we in the first place decide to dump our toxic waste in a medium, out of our sight, but endangering the very environment of sealife, which we also harvest to further stuff our pie holes? We eat our own cr@p in the form of fish, whose lives we threaten by our own waste. Thank God I'm not "normal"
@@lumokindz8600 Like what Lumo? It is NOT the RESPONSIBILITY of ANY other human to clean behind you and the mess you make. Step up or step aside.
Great documentary! Showcasing the terrible situation of a once great and fun filled city
Love the cinematography, inspired.
Thanks for the video. Can you make a 2 minute version for Twitter?
The Destruction has covered the land and reached the ocean
All this incompetency in SA is killing the goose that lays the golden egg!!!
So true
Thank the ANC for this. This is a true reflection of the entire country & is their legacy...... but still the masses vote for them. You deserve what you choose
It is shocking to see what has become of this wonderful country.
The politicians should be ashamed of themselves and step aside for capable and educated people to save south africa.
Not only Durban but the whole South Africa, tenders are given to people with no experience at all
Yes, the city is collapsing, and yes the municipality is being run so badly, but who is doing the littering? The people of Durban. Who breaks glass everywhere, and throws bones everywhere, and pees all over? The people who live in Durban. Who breaks the dustbins and dumps rubbish all over? The people of Durban, that’s who. Who throws so much litter into the rivers and storm water drains? Who leaves rubbish all over the beach? The people who live in Durban do this. People can play the blame game all they like, but it’s the people who live here who have absolutely no pride in their environment. Why must people pick up after you all the time? We can moan about the municipality and the waste of our tax payer money but that’s not going to take away from the fact that Durbanites are causing the filth. Yes the municipality must clean up and fix the infrastructure and sewerage issues, but people need to take responsibility for their actions and the cleanliness of our city. We all have to do our bit or it’s not going to get better. Vote better as well Durbanites. Do your bit to help keep Durban clean.
Well said.
Very true everyone has had a hand in Durban's downfall and now it's time for everyone to a hand in its rise
I totally agree, I'm in Canada and the same thing is starting to happen here
Yeerp
Man! What a beautiful place. Come on Durban. Take care of this place. Never being in SA but this looks really cool.
I worked there 40 years ago under contract , it was an amazing place . it was so clean we used to catch Shad off the beach and cook them straight away on the beach . it was so clean . but i am not surprised at what is happening .
We moved down to Margate, South Coast and it's much different here. Beaches are clean and beautiful. The community come together to make it beautiful. A beautiful team called Tidy Towns have helped make our beaches spectacular. I hope Durban North will do the same...
💔 Well said "IT SHOULD BE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT" its not about RACE
Thank you ANC
Durban used to be the go to place during december holidays
ahhhh remember 2010??
I think people must also be responsible for keeping our city clean. We need to rally together and do clean ups and educate people around the effects of litter and yes! The municipality must play their part too.... it's us as South African citizens to come together 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤗
Same thing has happened to every single country in Africa. Things will never change.
Interesting... I live in Italy and just applied for a position in the orchestra in Durban (Yes, the musical job situation in Italy Is that bad that I am considering moving to different countries or even continents). I looked for info and I found beautiful landscapes, good quality of life (actually It was reported to be the best in South Africa), plenty of opportunities....on paper.
Must be based on old data, because what I see here does not match what I read.
Going there for new years. But to be honest being there about a month ago was shocking. A shadow of what it used to be.... just sad for a place i consider my fave in S.A
Go somewhere else. Dirtbin is stinky.
Sad indeed
I just returned after 25 years of being in JHB, its sad!! The corruption is so rife as well!!!
