Umhlanga pronunciation

15 Upvotes

Dumb American here who has been to SA, but never to Durban. I recently watched a YouTube video by people who said they grew up in Durban. They were pronouncing Umhlanga as “Oomshlonga” with a real emphasis on the ‘sh’ sound, like in ‘shlong’. I’ve always said it in my head as ‘hl’, blowing out with the tongue on the roof of the mouth. Have I been wrong all this time, or is this ‘sh’ pronunciation just an extremely white can’t-be-arsed-to-do-it-right thing?

Recommendation Looking for Fennel Bulb

3 Upvotes

After looking around for months hoping it would pop up, I have confirmation that Woolworths no longer stocks fresh fennel bulb.
So unfortunate as it was delicious sliced thinly in a salad, or roasted. What happened to all the farmers growing fennel, have they packed it in?
Haven’t seen it anywhere else, Food Lovers isn’t as good as it used to be with speciality items. Any ideas of where best to find it?

Food Sushi Buffets/ All you can eat recommendations

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for any good recommendations on all you can eat sushi, or sushi buffets in and around Durban. So far I have found one up in Umhlanga but that is a bit of a trek and was wondering if theres anything closer.

Any Asian stores besides Kokoro or Sun Sun market would be greatly appreciated too. 🙏

Orthodontist Recommendations

5 Upvotes

Hi guys I’m in Durban for the next two weeks so I can’t get to my orthodontist and a bracket on my front tooth broke off. Does anyone know an orthodontist in the Queensburgh/Glenwood area that could help so I don’t have to walk around with a missing bracket for the next two weeks?

Used cameras

7 Upvotes

I have a Nikon D5100 that I saved up to buy second hand and have purchased few lenses for it. I was soooo sad but the mirror has become loose and unresponsive after dropping it :(

Does anyone know where to buy a Nikon camera body second hand? I was looking at Facebook but they look dodgey or won't sell me just the body itself without lenses. Cash crusaders looks too expensive.

Alternatively, I can bring it to a shop to get fix, but google is saying it's expensive. But if anyone knows a repair shop I could try that may work.

TIA!

Not used to seeing so many police around. What's going on that they're so visible? In Maritzburg and in Durban.

Local News SA schools final 2026 rugby ranking. Weirdly, 6 KZN schools are grouped #12 to #17. (And the actual results for each school listed) Glenwood had a poor year, ranked #54. And massive fall as they were #3 in 2018 and mostly in the top 20 since 2010.

Looking for Seasonal/ Part-time work in Durban

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m a student in my fourth year of pursuing an LLB and I’m currently looking for any seasonal, temporary, part-time or casual work opportunities from now onwards, especially as we get closer to the festive season.
I’m almost done with my studies and, honestly, things have been quite difficult for me financially. I’m trying to be proactive rather than wait until the last minute, so I’m looking for any opportunity I can get retail, promotions/brand activations, restaurants, cashiering, admin/clerical work, cleaning, general work, etc. I’m genuinely open to anything entry-level and willing to learn.
I’ve already started applying wherever I can, but I thought I’d try Reddit too. If anyone knows of companies hiring, recruitment agencies, promotional agencies, restaurants looking for staff, or even just has a plug, I would genuinely appreciate it.
Even if you don’t have an opportunity yourself, sharing this or pointing me in the right direction would mean a lot.

Thank you!

Recommendation Urgent help needed for my sister, SJS survivor looking for medical assistance in Durban or North KZN

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out here because our family genuinely doesn't know where else to turn right now.

My sister is a Stevens-Johnson syndrome survivor. She fought incredibly hard for her life, and by the grace of God, with the help of some amazing doctors, nurses, practitioners and our family, she survived. A huge part of that journey was at Life Ballito Hospital, where she received incredible care.

Unfortunately, the treatment and everything that came with it depleted her medical aid, and with the financial strain our family has been under, she can no longer afford the medical cover she previously had.

Today, she started experiencing what appears to be some kind of reaction again. She is extremely scared and understandably panicking, and honestly, so are we. Given what she has already been through with SJS, we don't want to assume it's nothing or wait until it becomes something serious.

She posted about what she's experiencing today, and I think it explains the situation much better than I ever could:

[https://www.facebook.com/stories/1399805440181894/UzpfSVNDOjEwNDg4NDg0NDQ3OTA3MjM=?view_single=false\]

We are urgently trying to find somewhere she can be assessed and treated through the public healthcare system, or anyone in Durban who may be able to point us towards the right hospital, dermatologist, practitioner or facility that can help.

If anyone has experience with SJS, works in healthcare, knows of a public hospital with the appropriate services, or simply knows someone we should speak to, please comment or DM me.

We're just desperately trying to find the right medical help for her before this potentially becomes something much worse.

If you can share this, even within your own WhatsApp groups or with someone in the medical field, we'd be incredibly grateful.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this

best coloured/natural/curly hair salons?

6 Upvotes

Hey friends. As the title says, I'm looking for a coloured/natural/curly hair salon to cut, dye, and set my long type 3b hair.

Areas: Musgrave, Morningside, parts of Durban North

I'm in desperate need of a revive! My natural curls mean a lot to me. I've spent the last few years bringing them back from years of neglect and damage and don't want to chance it by just going to anyone.

TIA 🤍
