Before/after doesn’t always mean decline. From a busy mall, to extensive fire damage after the July 2021 riots, to a complete rebuild by 2022. When the private sector is involved, things move fast. Springfield Value Centre, Umgeni Rd, Durban, South Africa. 2021 - 2022

A perfect example of the inability to understand cause & effect, or possibly an example of simply not caring. Trash thrown into rivers and storm water drains pollutes a once-beautiful area of Wilsons Warf in Durban. Sies. Viva, you did it again.

Introducing a new series: the Durban Time Capsule - a glimpse into the Durban of yesteryear. Our first entry brings us to West Street, circa 1900. Horse‑drawn carts, dust roads, and a slower, quieter Durban. Quite the contrast with 2024. What’s the first detail that hits you?
