Each an every year Durban just gets worse and worse, majority of the city hasnt been updated since the 70's, mainly due to corruption and looting. Lived here my whole life, have never walked the street alone at night and I would never, ever do that. Such beauty, wasted.

Durban is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery beautiful weather best. The only issue is laws are not implemented strict enough and that destroys a beautiful place. Crime increasing corruption increasing no order is kept people to polices and government therfore criminals feel they can ride the horse as well. It's a shame. Just be safe. Despite this we still tend to focus on trying to enjoying the beauty of durban. Now days the notice is Things are getting worse now the environment. Is being targeted destroyed by carelessness. If the government don't tackle this now then it's a real shame that a beautiful place be destroyed.

My friend was brutally raped and murder in her apartment in 2001.It is a country where criminals rule.Perhaps because she was white , the murderer felt he could just use extreme cruelty towards her.She was an innocent kind woman.It happens everyday no matter what race you are.Thank God we could immigrate to Canada.

As of October 2019, durban has experienced a uproot in crime levels... Criminals now kill for their targets not intimidate them. We have seen the worst cases of rape, murders, robberies etc.
Our justice system is useless with police taking upto 4 hrs to reach your door for help... Carrying a pepper spray is not we need, we need the death penalty back
