- http://www.durban.gov.za/ - eThekwini Online is the website of the eThekwini Municipality
and has sections for both visitors and residents. Here you can
find just about anything including accomodation, things to do,
council minutes and the mayor's e-mail address. One intriguing
feature is under City Maps in the Residents section where you
can call up maps showing any address in the city with whatever
detail you want, including culverts, sewer pipes and storm water
drains. There are also low-resolution aerial photographs available.
- Genealogy:
Rosemary Dixon-Smith is an expert on genealogy in KwaZulu Natal
and plays a major part in the Genealogy
World website.
- All
At Sea - Derek Walker's site which has a lot of stuff on maritime
issues and history relating to South Africa.
- Garry Schei
is based in Scotland but has
a website, here, with a very nice collection of old pictures
of Durban.
- A
photographic site showcasing the work of Peter Bendheim who
is a friend to Facts About Durban. There are some excellent pictures
of Durban people and places, but not the usual touristy views.
- Ports
and Ships is a very nice resource on the Port of Durban and
other Southern African Ports, including information on what ships
are in harbour.
- Guy Ellis, who contributed the section on SAAF rescue launches in Durban to this site, has moved to England. He has set up a history website which specialises in the Stroud area but which has other interesting stories on it including a couple with South African relevance.
