There isn’t a day that there aren’t hundreds of people partaking in some kind of activity down at the beachfront, whether it be running, cycling, yoga or just walking the dogs. The really cool thing is that the promenade connects directly to the People’s Park precinct, which holds not only a magnificent track & field a...

Ah….. The 2010 FIFA World Cup. You can’t really blame us for getting nostalgic now that the next World Cup is about to take place in Brazil.

Thousands of people all over the world flooded into Moses Mabhida and the spirit felt at the games and in Durban itself was unlike anything you have ever experienced. All we have ...

On the first Saturday of every month, a little revolution happens on the Imbizo Lawns at Moses Mabhida Stadium. Not the kind of revolution you read about in your history books at school, but more of a local kind of revolution. One that brings the community together in a way that supports the city’s economy and promotes our independent artisans. Durbanites flock to the I heart Market to satisfy their appetites, indulge in retail therapy, catch up with mates, listen to amazing music and gener...

If you were somewhere around the stadium last week Wednesday, you might have doubted your sanity a little as you watched an interesting figure walking over the #MMStadium arch! On Wednesday, 21 May, saturation deep sea diver and SA wildlife advocate Steve Entwistle took his love for rhinos, to the next level. Literally.
