One goes to Sun Coast and this is what you see : Filth, people fast asleep on beach chairs under the umbrellas, using it as a hotel!! while tax payers like us whp want to use it as recreation have no umbrella to sit under!!! The best is when someone gets there early to get a spot under the umbrella and only use some of the shade, a group of intrusive people come and plunk themselves right under your umbrella without asking?????!!!!! My mind boggles. Funny though, they only do that to old people or women that are vulnerable. They tried that with me once, but quickly regretted when my husband quickly arrived! Yes some will say I am racist when in fact I am stating facts. I do not discriminate at all, actually have lovely friends and even family of other races. Where I discriminate is when people think because of their colour they can intrude in my life, my space, be abusive, disrespectful and filthy which affects my life and that of my families. I could tell stories of certain neighbours, one even cut the seal of a fire-hose to wash his car. Bring it to the attention of the Body Corporate, and straight away the race issue comes up????

Dirty Durban exhibition captures filth

Durban is filthy and will not be
cleaned in time for the 2010 soccer World Cup, which has a "green
policy".
This is according to concerned local
artist Jenny Cullinan, who on Sunday held the Dirty Durban exhibition at the
Durban Botanic Gardens.
The exhibition featured pictures of
dirty places around the city taken by Cullinan and members of the public.
The areas included the beachfront,
Durban University of
Technology's Steve Biko Campus, Mahatma Gandhi (Point) Road, Wilson's Wharf and
the Msinsi nature reserve.
Cullinan said the pictures were taken
after the recent Durban Solid Waste strike had
ended. She said the exhibition was intended to indicate that everyone should
take responsibility for the city's cleanliness.

"The city is filthy and we can't
blame Durban Solid Waste for the mess. Durban has a reputation for being dirty,
and people in Johannesburg and Cape Town are talking about it.
We won't manage to clean up for 2010.
It has a green policy and Durban has no beautification bylaws," she said.
Cullinan said the eThekwini Municipality
was not to blame and was battling with the problem.
"What's gone wrong, because Durban
was once a clean city?
I was taught not to litter when I was growing up.
Smashing bottles is some sort of
expression and I don't know why. We need to enforce beautification bylaws.
