The eNCA MarkData poll has MK at 48% which is not great, however this is down from the 55% that Ipsos had them at. Anything under 50% allows for the continuation of a coalition government to keep them out of power.

The best thing you as a voter can do is to vote for one of the parties who will contribute to a coalition government. While there may be smaller parties and independents not included above who appeal to you, if they can not earn enough of the vote to contribute to a coalition government, then it is unfortunately a wasted vote.

For anyone not aware of the break down of the KZN provincial government currently keeping MK out of power it is as follows:

Provincial Government Coalition:

• IFP (15 seats, as well as the premier position held by Thami Ntuli)
• ANC (14 seats)
• DA (11 seats)
• NFP (1 seat)

eThekwini EXCO coalition:

Voting block * ANC (5 seats, as well as the mayor position held by Cyril Xaba) * EFF (1 seat) * NFP (1 seat)

Opposition block * DA (3 seats) * IFP (1 seat)

Make sure to vote and tell everyone you know to vote.

Hi sorry . Please remove if not important. I want to chat to someone privately . I been having so much physical and emotional pain . I would like to talk to a stranger. I'm 39 . M

So if DA is Zionist/Israeli Apologists etc ... ANC have dropped the ball, corruption, maladministration, etc... EFF are aggressive, flipflop populists with JuJu ... MK are militant, conservative, corruption, xenophobic with Zuma/Jacintha... Action SA are xenophobia and small in KZN... IFP are smaller than ever, passive, conservative... And all other parties are not really going to make a difference I suppose... Who do we vote for and why??

Should private companies run the water where the city can’t keep it running? Should unpaid electricity bills be cancelled? Should the city employ its own guards and cleaners, even if it costs more? Should every household that can’t afford a house get one free?

WhichParty ( whichparty.co.za ) asks 30 questions like these and shows how closely you match each of the eight biggest parties. Each party also has a page showing where it stands on every issue, and nothing you answer is stored.

Every position comes from the party’s own manifesto, conference resolutions, votes, or official statements, with a link to the source.

I’ve tried hard to keep it fair. The goal is to help people make an informed choice, so if something looks leading, tell me, and I’ll check it against the party’s own documents.

How much are we earning a month while living in Durban, RSA?

It's definitely before 1973 because I found a different photo from 1973 and the red building on the left is gone.

Interesting that you can see the bench that was in yesterday's post. Behind the red pole on the right

The teardrop / circular pool was the shark tank

Also makes you realise how much of our current beachfront is reclaimed. Before the sand pumping scheme was built, high tide came right up to the Lower Marine Parde and regularly flooded it. This photo looks like it was taken at about 2-3pm taking a guess from the shadows, so if it was spring tides that day, the tide still had another 2.5 hours to push

Heading into the city tomorrow alone after my research conference. Anywhere in particular I should avoid other than the obvious (dark alleys, places with no one around)?

And anywhere you highly recommend?

I’ll be on foot most of the day, and thought I might try to start at surf riders for breakfast if I can get a table.

Will it be as good as funworld was though?

I am looking for suggestions of a well priced car rental company in the Ballito area.. Something similar to Rent - A - Cheapie in Cape Town.

We land at King Shaka at 8am and can drop the car back off the following day at 1pm. Pickup doesn't have to be at the airport but drop off does.

Any suggestions please? 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of applying for jobs in the hotel industry in the Durban area because I have a lot of transferable experience from working in security, retail, and customer service.

Before I start applying, I'd like to hear from people who are currently working in hotels in and around Durban. How many hours do you usually work per shift, and what times do your shifts start and end? For example, do you work 8-hour shifts, 10-hour shifts, or 12-hour shifts? Do you have fixed shifts or do they rotate?

I'm particularly interested in Marriott Hotels, Capital Hotels, Premier Hotels, and Beekman Group, but I'd welcome feedback from anyone working at other hotel groups in the Durban area as well.

I'd also appreciate hearing about your general experience working in hotels, including the workload, work environment, and work-life balance.

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. My husband will be moving to Durban for work . He has got a work permit from his office but I dont. Can you all please guide me how i can apply . Thank you

Hi, basically what the title says. I'm looking for a cheap hotel or bnb to stay in around Durban, Umhlanga or Ballito? A place that's reputable, has good wifi, polite staff and so on. My budget is around R700 a night.

Hey guys, just a quick question. How long does it take for a passport to get delivered to home affairs in Durban, from the time it says Despatched to branch office? We kind of in a rush for our passports and it's been 4 days now. So I am just curious. Is it normal to almost take a week to get delivered or should I just go into the office and ask for it? Doesn't help I call. Everything is down. The online portal, the phone line and the Umgeni home affairs phone number is also down.

A phone stolen last week was last tracked at the location in these screenshots before going offline. Numerous people have since said their stolen phones also showed their last known location at the same spot.

Could stolen phones be taken here to be wiped or resold? These reports deserve a proper investigation by SAPS.

Has anyone else traced their stolen phone to this location? Please report any matching information to SAPS. Don’t attempt to confront anyone there.

Looking into collecting vinyls, specifically rock from any era (people like Ozzy, green day, ac/dc, and especially Oasis)

Any reliable places i can buy them in and around durban would be much appreciated
