Guys, I tried but things are just not on my side.

Was almost there but alas I broke down on the M4. Apologies I couldn't make it to the meet.

Durban is a coffee haven!

Do you Durbanites have any idea how good you have it on the coffee front that side??

I was home for a three week surf trip in July. I didn’t have one bad coffee. Between Durban and Ballito and back again for three weeks straight, everywhere I went - perfect coffee. I’ve been back in the UK now for a month and a half and I reckon I might have had two acceptable but not Durbs level coffees - it’s infuriating! Plus I’m paying £3.50 for the disappointment!!😭

Gorpcore&Vintage Nike suppliers!!

I hope what I'm talking about isn't irrelevant to this page but I assumed this would be about anything that's going on in Durban😭.

I've been trying to source Gorp/Outdoor brands like Arc'teryx, Patagonia, The North Face, etc. from people in the city and around the country, and also vintage Nike pieces from people so that I can sell them as my own business type of thing, basically trying to build an online Gorp thrifting store and then have a separate store for people who want vintage Nike, because these are both things that l'm passionate about myself and I would love to make these clothes more accessible and affordable for people who are looking for them because I know the struggle of trying to find these clothes in this country, let alone being able to pay for them brand new you know.

I've been trying to network all over, for months on social media apps, l've been hitting thrifting stores whenever I can and I've been failing miserably😭.It's like I just can't find anything to get me started.

Everything's just happening overseas and i don't have the money for those currency conversions . That's what's stopping me from importing clothes from overseas, that and those shipping costs, those are heavy taxes as well.

If anyone in the city knows anyone else that's tapped into either of these scenes and sources these clothes or even anyone else locally in other cities please let me know I'm trying to stand on business for real🫡

And sorry for the yapping😭

E-waste drop off / recycling

Hi Durbanites

Can anyone recommend a place for electronic waste disposal or recycling? I have seen a few adverts for services available for businesses and their IT equipment but it isn’t clear what the options are for individuals.

I have an old Chromebook which I was using while in the USA which is now obsolete. Also random items like old sport / smart watch, earphones, memory sticks. Just hoping there is a better way to dispose of this stuff than just chucking it in the bin.

I’m up the north coast, but I drive through to Durbs regularly enough that I’m not really concerned about needing to find such a recycling place that is close to home for this.

Thanks and hope everyone enjoys the meet up today!

Edibles

With all the shops around, where are some of the best edibles? Ideally looking for jellies with no pork gelatin, or ones that use vegan gelatin. But, any really good edibles I'll give a try.

Any recommendations?

Eleven-year-old girl killed in carjacking incident

I managed to watch the video once. I don't have the stomach to watch it again. It's not graphic , it's doesn't need to be. What it represents is sickening enough. This world needs ... help.

Can anyone here help with anything. Feeling at a complete lost

I'm here to humble myself and hope someone can help. Due to a terrible series of events the last few months which include being mugged, house robbed and losing my job, I come here for help. I have been doing what I can to try keep us from being homeless, but can't replace what we lost. This month has by far been the worse and I desperately need help. If anyone here could help us with a few things, we need food, bread, sugar, cheese, peanut butter, coffee, milk, biscuits for my kids, my fridge was taken so I don't have a fridge but tinned food would be fine. Also shoes, size 12 mens and size 7 mens, and size 7 ladies as shoes were taken. Also if anyone could help me with some dog food for my boy, he has been sharing in our little that we had but even that is low.Lastly if anyone has an fridge we could use, or could get us an elec token or water token, it would be greatly appreciated. We are in Durban, Rosehill .Help with any of the above would be greatly appreciated, we did contact SS at the Methodist in our area, they will help us from next month with food and gave me the details for this page in case someone could help Thank you All

What are first year journalists paid in Durban?

I am trying to do a little research and would like to know what the going rate is for journalists that have just left uni and have started with an employer. Also, how do you get around? Does the company provide a pool car or are you expected to use your own vehicle?

Thanks in advance.

*Edit: Thanks for the replies. To provide a little more background, I am not looking to move into journalism but rather to employee a journalist. So I am trying to figure out what their salary should be and also how they get around to cover events.

Custom Car work in Durban

I'm looking for a (brave) mechanic shop to take on a custom body project. I have an old cab which runs perfectly but the interior and exterior are basically gone. I came into some money and want to fix my baby rather than throwing her to the curb. Shap
