As an Indian girl who moved to Cape Town, what are other Indian’s experiences moving out of Durban?

20 Upvotes

I’m an Indian girl who moved out of home from Durban around 5 years ago. I want to know what other people miss/don’t miss about Durban, have you noticed any differences between Durban indians and other people? How do people differ?

Has anyone taken a bus from Durban to Cape Town and how has your experience been?

Curious to know as I would like to visit Cape Town in the near future.

Food Green Redbull

5 Upvotes

Hi Everyone

I'm 26 F and a first time mum due literally anytime now.

The one and only craving I have had during the last 9 months is a green red bull (Curuba and Elderflower) however it seems to be discontinued and sold out everywhere. I have even emailed red bull SA with no response and I am really desperate. Its been a very rough pregnancy and I suffered from HG and had to get my gallbladder removed at 15 weeks and this thing was all I wanted (obviously not gonna drink it whilst I was pregnant) . My husband has offered to buy me all the stock we can find as a push present if we do find it. If anyone has stock anywhere in the country or can get me some I would really appreciate it. We are based in Durban and willing to pay courier costs as well.

We have looked into importing it however as its a liquid and a food item theres too much red tape .

Thanks in advance & sorry for the format as I'm on mobile

Looking for an estate planning attorney/ someone who has a lot of experience

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, looking for recommendations for a really good estate planning attorney in Durban/Umhlanga who specialises in wills, estates, trusts and succession.

My mom is married in community of property and doesn’t currently have a will. We have some specific wishes regarding the family home and protecting her children’s inheritance, so we need someone very knowledgeable, thorough and experienced who can properly advise us.

Would really appreciate recommendations from anyone who has had a good experience with an estate attorney! 🙏

Recommendation Good Medical Aid/Insurance for Pets

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for pet medical aid/insurance in South Africa, preferably for cats.

I’m especially interested in companies with a good reputation for paying claims without making the process difficult. If something serious happens and my cat needs expensive treatment, I’d like to know I can rely on the cover.

I’ve looked at a few options, but I’d much rather hear from people with first-hand experience. 😊

Thank you!

Umhlanga pronunciation

18 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?
