If you live in KZN, this page can help you plan your day: find fuel and transport updates, school closure notices, and major event schedules like local marathons or festivals. If you’re visiting, read the travel and safety posts before you go — they often include tips on best routes, things to avoid and what’s open or closed.
What we cover and why it matters
We track local government decisions that affect daily life — service delivery, roadworks, housing projects and provincial budgets. Business coverage focuses on the port of Durban, job announcements, factory openings or closures, and tourism trends that affect local communities. Environment and weather stories warn you about storms, floods, or water restrictions so you can act fast.
We also try to highlight voices from the province: local leaders, activists, small business owners and residents. Those perspectives help explain how a new policy or event actually hits the ground. When a protest, court ruling or major infrastructure project appears in the news, you’ll find both the facts and the local context here.
