What a fantastic morning hosting Chilean exchange students.
They absolutely loved exploring Grey St - from supporting our local shops, visiting the Mosque, enjoying a delicious R12 custard from the local bakery, to discovering the 1860 Indentured Heritage Museum. We wrapped up at the colorful Victoria St Market a true Durban gem!
A day filled with culture, history, and community spirit. Welcome to our vibrant corner of the world.

What a lovely morning with the Matric students from St Mary's School!
We spent time at The Point, learning about urban renewal and how cities can be transformed for the better. It's an ideal spot for Matrics to explore topics straight from their syllabus.
We also visited the rooftop garden, where urban farming came to life in the most inspiring way. A great example of learning beyond the classroom!

The Vasco da Gama Ocean Race 2025 Has Set Sail!
We were fortunate to watch the start of the Vasco da Gama Ocean Race from the NSRI base today —a perfect vantage point to witness the crews set off on their epic journey along the Wild Coast. Grateful for the opportunity and the incredible work NSRI does to keep our waters safe. 👏🌊

South Africa’s oldest coastal ocean race and its 52nd edition, charting the iconic 300-nautical-mile route between Durban and East London. 🌊⛵
Organized by the Royal Natal Yacht Club, this legendary race challenges sailors along the Wild Coast, navigating the powerful Agulhas Current and unpredictable weather. Crews must make bold decisions—go offshore for speed, hug the coast for breeze, or strike a risky middle path.

Over the decades, the race has seen its fair share of peril. A few yachts have tragically vanished lost to the depths with their crew, never to be found again. Most notably the harrowing 1984 race, marked by hurricane-force winds and the tragic loss of the yacht Rubicon and her five crew.
The waters off the Wild Coast are as breathtaking as they are unforgiving, a true test of seamanship and courage.
