Visited in '93. It was thriving. I was afraid to watch this video, now I'm sorry I did. *sigh!

Well if you tried you could'nt have done better - that was excelent. Yes I was born and bred Durban Durbs - by - da - Sea!! Lived in Westville schooled at Westville High (before the split i.e. Boys High/Girls High). Left for UK Aug 2001 a very sad but necessary move.

Drivng by quickly in a car makes the place look better than it actually is. It's a complete dump compared to what it used to be. The areas of the CBD he went to were the nicer parts. Trust me, it only gets worse. If you want to see decent parts of Durban then you must go to the wealthy suburbs. You may think this isn't bad but remember this is suppose to be one of our richest cities. The places you mention in the USA are not wealthy cities by US standards. So it's unfair to compare.

Damn, I remember when I went on vacation here in 1989, it was a paradise on earth, it looks like shit now. I'm afriad to go back to Pietermaritzburg now as well, that used to be one of SA's classiest cities back in the day....And while crime here is bad, it's not nearly as bad as Jo'burg or Cape town are, now those have become serious shitholes.

It's not that bad looking. It's still better looking than some of these American cities...typically the ones in the Mid-West and East Coast. I think it's beautiful.

Si, pero Durban tambien apesta como la India, y las playas no valen nada.

Durban and South Africa is my home. I left to play Football in America and now all I want to do is go back. I have taken my home for granted. Never again Durban. Im coming home!
