Rebellious students from Durban University of Technology wreaks havoc at the Steve Biko campus during a violent demonstration. They insist that the current security company be replaced. Lectures are currently suspended and nearly 34,000 students are unable to attend lectures.

During the riot, two waiting rooms and the interview room were destroyed, and the 27-year-old security officer sustained serious injuries.

Auto racing on the increase on Durban streets- traffic department says they can’t issue fine tickets because camera system is not functioning properly
Posted on Leave a comment
For more than two years, Durban was the racing devil’s race track, as all speed traps with cameras were out of order.
The city had virtually no revenue from speeding violations for two years, and the single traffic violation noticed by traffic officials also did not always result in a fine ticket.
The inexplicable is that the traffic department says they can’t issue a ticket because the camera system is not functioning properly.
However, a spokeswoman for the municipality says it does not mean that the streets of the city are unsafe as the traffic staff “works very hard” to ensure that law and order are maintained.
A reader told Die Vryburger he was aware of several cases where traffic officials “exempted” fines for their friends.

Durban beachfront still in disrepair ahead of holiday rush
Posted on Leave a comment
With Durban preparing to receive millions of visitors over the festive season, many of its beachfront showers are not working.
Njabulo Zondi, who works along the promenade as a sand sculptor, said they had not been operational for a few months.
“It’s the festive now and these showers must be working,” he said.
Zondi said he went to the beach at least three times a week and used water from the showers for his sculptures and after taking a swim.
Pensioner Robert Sinner, who also frequents the beachfront, said of the two sets of showers at North Beach, only two showers from one set were working.
“Those showers haven’t been working for nine months, and three months ago they started leaking water. When I enquire, I am told the spares to fix them are imported from overseas,” Sinner said, adding that the beachfront was in a bad state.
“At least three times this year salt water made its way into the freshwater taps. Local clubs had to buy bottle

Exclusive auction – Anger as Durban car auction reserved for township blacks only
Posted on Leave a comment
Durban – ETHEKWINI Municipality’s attempts to improve the spending power of Africans – under the age of 35 – by excluding Indians and coloureds from an official car auction drew widespread criticism this week.
The event was officially dubbed a radical economic transformation (RET) auction. It involved the selling off of various used municipal vehicles from the city fleet site and was advertised in a newspaper which stipulated that it would only allow the participation of young people from townships as well as military veterans.
The event stemmed from a promise made during a conference on RET earlier this year, where the eThekwini Municipality said it would – through business associations – accelerate interventions to achieve “economic emancipation and equality” for previously marginalised businesses.
As a result, only those registered on the National Military Veterans’ database, and those under the age of 35 who lived in townships or communities under

Posted on Leave a comment
A case of carjacking has been opened after hijackers pointed a firearm at a 45-year-old man and fled with his 4-year-old child on Saturday morning.
The man, who was understood to be driving a Golf 7, was hijacked when he had stopped at a traffic light in New Germany, on the corner of Dinkelman and Shepstone Road. Four armed men pointed him with firearms, police said.
Police said they were unable to disclose the identity of the child or her father “at this stage”.
Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele said the incident happened at about 7.15am on Saturday.
“A 45-year-old male was with his four-year-old daughter in his VW Golf stationary at the traffic lights on the corner of Dinkelman and Shepstone Roads when a vehicle with four occupants stopped next him, pointed at him with firearms. They allegedly forced him out of his vehicle and sped off with his daughter inside,” said Mbele.
The police said no arrests had been made.
N2 protest: Burning tyres and confusion brings Durban drivers to a halt
Posted on Leave a comment
Durban drivers on the N2 were left stranded in a massive traffic backlog on Tuesday morning. Protesters blocked part of the busy highway with burning tyres just one day after rubbish was dumped in a similar area.
The N2 Durban bound was the area in question on Tuesday morning. A similar incident also took place in the uMbongintwini area.
“Police have an idea of who could have done this and arrests are expected to be made. Tyres were placed across all the lanes and then set alight. This has caused a severe traffic backlog. Vehicles had to be diverted from the N2 in Isipingo onto the M4,” Sewpersad said.
With a blockage of that scale, drivers had been attempting to utilise the emergency lanes to get past the tyres, an act police have urged motorists not to partake in.
When the fire department arrives on the scene, it has been unable to use the emergency lanes to put out the fire and remove the debris.
At this stage, police have admitted that they are n
