r/Durban

Does anyone know where in Durban I can burn an ISO file onto a Blu-ray disc?

I don’t currently have a Blu-ray writer, so I’m looking for a computer shop, print shop, or anyone offering the service.

Preferably around Durban North / Umhlanga area

Thanks!

Hi all. I m currently living in Umbilo near Gale Street and Moore Road. I can no longer afford my rent and need to find a new room to rent elsewhere for max R2000. The problem is that I am an unemployed software dev who fell on hard times and is trying to get back on my feet (see my post history). My ex wife has been helping me stay afloat and will be the one paying rent. She is a teacher at Durban Girls High. The lease will obviously have to be month to month. And the place needs to be close to food shops/supermarkets and public transport as I don't own a fridge or car. Am willing to share. I need to be in a new place by 25th of this month it else I ll be literally homeless. Does anyone know or have a place?

Good day everyone,

Prob the wrong place to post this, but I am desperate at this stage.

Does anyone maybe know of any jobs in the Durban area that is available. Ive used indeed for a while now and I've applied for 100's of jobs, but nothing. I have a qualification in office administration and a lot of experience in different areas. I've worked as a seamstress before at a curtian and blind shop before where I learned how to make curtians, Roman blinds and a bit of light upholstery. I also use to work for 3 years at a foster cluster home as a foster mom and 3 years at a safe house as a safety parent.

I am kind of relying on word of mouth at this stage. It's been 6 months since I got here and I am still without a job. My parents are moving to a different country soon and I need a job soon soon.

Again sorry if this is the wrong platform, but I am really desperate at this point. So if anyone have advice on what I can do or maybe links of remote jobs I can look at or in person jobs. Please let me know. I'm really desperate at this time. 🌻

Hi! I'm looking for cute halaal coffee spots in the Ballito area? Not halaal friendly, just halaal.

Jazakallah

I started a software company in South Africa called ImpactStack Africa.

Right now the idea is to help businesses with things like websites, apps, custom systems, dashboards, visitor management, fleet tracking, and general tech consulting.

But I’m starting to realise that saying “we build software” might be way too broad.

I’m trying to figure out whether I should niche down early or keep it open while I’m still finding the market.

The areas I’m looking at are:

custom software for SMEs
fleet and asset tracking
visitor management systems
GovTech/public sector systems
mobile apps for businesses
technical audits and digital transformation

For people who have built an agency, consultancy, or service business before, would you niche down from day one or test a few markets first?

Also, does this sound like a real business direction or am I trying to do too much?

Happy Sunday friends 😁 Of course we know that the best atchar is made by an Indian aunty whose spent 30 years perfecting her recipes, but what's the best out of the stuff we find at the shop?

Currently working my way through a bottle of Pakco hot vegetable atchar and not only is it not that hot, it's also quite bland.

Tangentially related, but Miami mango atchar has always been my dad's favourite. I don't really like it though.

I need to replace my ID and licence since I lost my wallet. Do I need an affidavit declaring the loss? Do I have to get it from a police station or can any commissioner of oaths stamp it for me?

Any advice would be appreciated :)

I’ve been looking at the numbers for SA small businesses lately, and it's brutal. My dad has about R100k in inventory (office chair parts) just sitting in a spare room because the Takealot algorithm tanked his sales.

Meanwhile, Shopify is charging R550/month just for the "privilege" of having a site. If you're only making R2,000 a month, the "Shopify Tax" eats your whole profit.

I’m 17 and I’ve spent the last month building a tool that flips this. No commissions, no monthly "rent." You own the code. I’ve integrated Ozow and Bob Go so the shipping is actually handled.

I’m not looking to sell anything today, I just want to know from other SA sellers: What is the biggest thing stopping you from moving off these big platforms? Is it the marketing, the tech, or the shipping?

Hi everyone, I'm a 19M — responsible, quiet, and currently looking for a furnished room or house share with reliable Wi-Fi around Durban, Westville, Pinetown, or Hillcrest from July for a few months.

I work from home as an online content creator and also do photography/videography on the side, so good internet is really important for me. I’m respectful, keep to myself, and I’m more than willing to help out around the house where needed.

My budget is currently around R3000pm.

If you know of anything available, or maybe have a spare room, please DM me. Advice would also be really appreciated 🙏

Hi all! Just another typical Aussie tourist who will be in Durban looking for recommendations - I will be in Durban during Heritage day in September. I am deeply interested in culture and wondering how do people in Durban celebrate? I have heard that Braais are common - where do people go (if not with family)? I also heard there is a celebration around King Shaka in KwaDukuza - is this worth visiting? How do I get there from Durban? Any help is appreciated!

Hello, Does Anyone Know Of Places Where Aloe Plants Grow With No One Owning Them In Durban? I Wish To Propagate An Aloe Plant Into My Garden.

Hey :)

I'm looking for a kombi service to take a group of around 7 people from Durban North to Balito and then drop them back off in Durban North after a party.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Much appreciated, thank you
