Durban is an ecclectic, eccentric, and incredibly creative city, yet it remains largely under the radar. An online search on Durban as a destination shows endless websites claiming Durban to be ‘The Warmest Place to Be’, or ‘Durban: Enchanted Pleasure-Palace, Africa’s bewitching seaside playground in the sun’... Those who actually live in Durban know this to be complete crap. Durban’s secret is it has no idea what it is - or wants to be. Therein lies its charm. Issue #33 of iJusi is a selection of Durban Stuff collected by Garth Walker over the years (plus some fellow Durban Lovers’ stuff) which showcases the real Durban.
