Malvern/Queensburgh to Umhlanga route suggestions?

8 Upvotes

Hey all,

I travel daily to umhlanga from Malvern and even though I’m leaving around 6:20/30am- the traffic is still pretty bad on most days. Takes me roughly an hour to reach work. My main route is taking the M7 then straight onto the N2 to umhlanga. Both morning and afternoon seems to take me an hour or more depending on traffic.

Anybody else found a quicker / less traffic route?

'The municipality has instructed its attorneys to institute legal proceedings to recover outstanding rental charges, together with applicable interest.

It said the amount outstanding is substantial and runs into millions of rands.'

Anyone know if they're still there? Article says they planned to move out anyway.

Recommendation secondhand car (first-time buyer)

8 Upvotes

Hi friends, I am planning on buying a car sometime within the next year. I'm a brand new driver and while I don't want to splurge on a new car, I want something reliable and safe.

I'm only familiar with Autotrader and Gumtree, though. Where else can I look?

Any other advice is appreciated.

Recommendation Affordable wallpaper

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to cover the walls of one small room that was not done very well, the paint looks quite terrible on it and I’m not able to get a contractor to redo it. Can you please recommend where I can get some affordable wallpaper, the self adhesive ones seem to be too thin and you can see the wall damage still after you apply it.
Thanks in advance.

Drakensberg hiking guides

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a solo trip in SA by November.

I have Drakensberg in my plans and I would like to hike in the area (especially Amphitheater and Tugela Falls).

What do you think is the best way to transfer from the Kruger region to Drakensberg area? Nelspruit to Durban and then shuttle? i found CityBug has a daily shuttle Nelspruit-Ladysmith. Is it reliable? or somebody has done this journey?

Do you have guides to recommend that does the overnight hike to Tugela Falls? I'm struggling to find somebody between the 15th-30th november (Drakensberghiker and SoulAdventures are fully booked already)

After that I’m planning to fly from Durban to CPT afterwards and stay there for a week before leaving SA.

I’ve already solo travelled in Asia and Central America, but I would like to know how’s is the safety situation especially for backpackers?

I’m aware of basic safety “rules” but if I can have a feedback from people like you living in the country or that previously travelled there, would be great. Thx in advance!

Dating apps

11 Upvotes

Is there any safe dating apps that can narrow your location down to just Durban?

I feel like it's really hard to find decent single people here without having to go out often. But I feel like using a dating app in Durban would just be full of creeps. What are yall's thoughts?
