What incredible footage saved. Thank you. It shows a Durban that one can only imagine. I grew up near the botanic gardens in the 70's & 80's. It was fun being a street kid then 😜
@@eeveegg6onpc507 considering I am of Central Asian and Middle Eastern descend, my ancestors did in fact invent the wheel and gave it to the world, as well as domesticating the horse. They also gave you agriculture: which we developed in the Neolithic while Northern Europeans, roughly speaking, didn't even climb down from trees yet🤣. Talking about hitting the stage ayayayai🤣
Thank you for this lovely and fascinating presentation. I wonder when it was created? It certainly gives me a greater sense of connection with this lovely city which I call home... And, indeed, gives me hope that Durban can once again rise from the calamitous neglect of its current 'management'...
Bro your peoples openly oppressed native and asians, the ANC and the old regime have everything in common, only thing is now most whites only areas are freely inhabited by people of colour, not only in durban but accross the country we too can have nice cars, and white parties, houses and good jobs, your paradise is in oranje, go live your dream life there mos
I was never a believer in Darwins evolution theory. I am more convinced that the theory could be not so far fetched if I see how this place is rapidly returning to prehistoric times.
Brohhh , White Pipul invested a lot to make Durban great at that time , I feel very sad to see how Durban is today but then again I think old white folks must be having the feeling 100x
This is the fragmented society we live in South Africa is being capitalized by foreigners from Janus Walus to The Guptas to The Nigerian drug dealers !!!!!
Yah and the Bantu were first to confiscate the land from the KHOI-SAN . In Natal the Bantu zulu invaded colonized and committed genocde against the original inhabitants the KHOI-SAN . So let's keep things in perspective .
@@imranzikhali4156 not cute. Absolutely amazing what people with pride and knowhow can achieve. Now there is no pride nor dignity in that cesspool of trash and crime. So sad. But like you said this is Africa.
@@Gerrardboss-v2g you like rewriting history. Funny how most African can speak languages with clicks then the so called European. But the again Europe will soon be a Islamic nations
This is Revelation in the making,thus sayeth The Lord of all Creations!! But people's minds are toxic so this is what people do to object to democracy laid out in 1994!!
Today a slum in most of the city center, . Point roas name changed but all it did was degrase even more to a drug den. The namr of Mahatma gundi road is an insult to indians as it stands today
From swamp to city to swamp again….thanks Comrades
London was also a beautiful town until a certain people were voted in to take charge ......what happened?????..😅😅😅😅
Full circle.
My first thought after seeing, reading the topic. And ten how do we describe the current mess, de-transformation?
Durban had the potential to become a great city like Perth or Brisbane. This video is a treasure to behold.
@@Hongaars1969 Durban is still vastly better than Perth!
@ infrastructure wise, it (sadly) definitely isn’t.
What incredible footage saved. Thank you. It shows a Durban that one can only imagine. I grew up near the botanic gardens in the 70's & 80's. It was fun being a street kid then 😜
What rich history, pearls thrown to swine
twig, straw and mud. same technology for 50000 yrs today....
History shows that progress is not necessarily always an upward curve. The past 30 years has reiterated that fact.
Wrong culture,wasn't ready to maintain this
"Keep ....out of maintaining and governing...". 🤣🤣🤣🤣....you didn't even hit the stage to invent the wheel yet...blame yourself

Cry beloved city Durban 😢
I saw myself dancing with my wife at Mitchell Park in 1936, we’ve been together for 172 years now and I still love her ❤
hahahahahahahhahahahahahaha we would know of you Sir
Wow, nice find, thank you
You're welcome! 😊
Whatever King Midas touched turned to gold, whatever the ANC touches turns to sewerage😢
Thank you for this lovely and fascinating presentation.

Dream on, and on and on and on
Once a paradise until the ANC come along and destroyed it in less than 5 years, so sad that Durban had to be lost to the dark ages
Bro your peoples openly oppressed native and asians, the ANC and the old regime have everything in common, only thing is now most whites only areas are freely inhabited by people of colour, not only in durban but accross the country we too can have nice cars, and white parties, houses and good jobs, your paradise is in oranje, go live your dream life there mos
How is Portugal doing?
Paradise for who? Whites only you mean? 🤔
It was a paradise for a certain demographics
Go find somewhere else to colonize
Magnificent!!
A beautiful vibrant and clean city turned into a pit toilet.
Once a beautiful thriving place...sadly n9 more😢
Oh wow awesome video guys an well done in just dropping names of people who are the places we know. Brilliant
I grew up in 1950s Durban
Don't want to see the destruction
Wow! Drone footage from back then is impressive 😀😀😀
I was never a believer in Darwins evolution theory. I am more convinced that the theory could be not so far fetched if I see how this place is rapidly returning to prehistoric times.
Hate to see Durban has gone down so badly , once a good holiday destination now we just stay away very sad 😢.
This is Africa NOT Europa!!!!😂
You just confirmed Africa is a dump?🤣🤣
Back to swamp 2025
......and back to an even filthier swamp and bushland....
30 years under anc has made Durban a no go place
Now back to the swamp of sewerage.... ANC progress....
So lovely. Look how fancy people used to dress. Such class
I wonder how they got the high, moving camera angles on some of the old footage?😮 they were only new to photos.
What a beautiful and civilised city Durban was.
Shame it is now 'gone to the dogs', along with so many others
Enjoyed the video... My my, Durban has changed... perhaps President Trump has a point!
Why don't I see any Indians or Zulus in the video?
They can't swim..
That's because they weren't living this life. The blacks were on their homelands and the Indians were living in tin shacks on the farms
Look at all these zulus building this city from the ground up! Amazing!!!!😂😂😂
05:02 the bug on the screen 😂
Imagine living in kzn in 1886 😮
It’s gone full circle now... back to being a swamp.
Why did they decommission the electric tram system?
A project of international Freemasonry, built by the same Freemasons who built Perth, Vancouver etc.
Durban is now gone six foot under
Not the way it used to be .
They build many bars and bar cabinets furniture 😂😂😂😂
Brohhh , White Pipul invested a lot to make Durban great at that time , I feel very sad to see how Durban is today but then again I think old white folks must be having the feeling 100x
Where are our glorious African warriors and leaders depicted.?
*_ They didn't contribute anything in those days... sitting around in the 'Homelands'having Indaba after Indaba with lots of "African Beer" _* 😅🤣😂
Wow they were really trying to turn Durban into their own country these people
Ah the good old days, when blacks understood their roles in society and law and order was the name of the game
Victorian apartheid had to fall now Durban needs a name change.
This is the fragmented society we live in South Africa is being capitalized by foreigners from Janus Walus to The Guptas to The Nigerian drug dealers !!!!!
*_ How about "SWAMP-TINI" _*
Cute but remember that Durban is in africa and africa always had people who's land was confiscated
@David_ZAR yep u are right on that one, I'm no anc supporter and I agree that the anc looted everything
Yah and the Bantu were first to confiscate the land from the KHOI-SAN . In Natal the Bantu zulu invaded colonized and committed genocde against the original inhabitants the KHOI-SAN .

Mfecane did just that as well!!!

1994..... From City to Septic swamp!
This is Revelation in the making,thus sayeth The Lord of all Creations!!

They should make s documentary on what the ANC didnt destroy
Impossible, what haven't they yet destroyed?
