Durban (Zulu: eThekwini, from itheku meaning "bay/lagoon") is the largest city in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal. After Johannesburg, the Durban Metropolitan Area ranks second among the most populous urban areas in South Africa, virtually ex-aequo with Cape Town. It is also the second most important manufacturing hub in South Africa after Johannesburg. It forms part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. Durban is famous for being the busiest port in South Africa. It is also seen as one of the major centres of tourism because of the city's warm subtropical climate and extensive beaches. The municipality, which includes neighbouring towns, has a population of almost 3.5 million, making the combined municipality one of the biggest cities on the Indian Ocean coast of the African continent. The metropolitan land area of 2,292 square kilometres (885 sq mi) is comparatively larger than other South African cities, resulting in a somewhat lower population density of 1,513/km2 (3,920/sq mi). It has the highest number of dollar millionaires added per year of any South African city with the number rising 200% between 2000 and 2014.
Cannabis, also known as marijuana and by numerous other names, is a preparation of the Cannabis plant intended for use as a psychoactive drug or medicine. The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); it is one of 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 84 other cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV).
Cannabis is often consumed for its mental and physical effects, such as heightened mood, relaxation, and an increase in appetite. Possible side effects include a decrease in short-term memory, dry mouth, impaired motor skills, red eyes, and feelings of paranoia or anxiety. Onset of effects is within minutes when smoked and about 30 minutes when eaten. They last for between two and six hours.
Cannabis is mostly used recreationally or as a medicinal drug. It may also be used as part of religious or spiritual rites. In 2013, between 128 and 232 million people used cannabis (2.7% to 4.9% of the global population between the ages of 15 and 65). In 2015, almost half of the people in the United States have tried marijuana, 12% have used it in the past year, and 7.3% have used it in the past month.

A special sand pumping initiative between eThekwini Municipality and Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has successfully reinstated sand along eroded sections of Durban’s popular Golden Mile, helping to tackle beach erosion exacerbated by climate change and inclement weather. This video shows beach replenishment underway on Durban's North Beach.
We came across this amazing man, Edmond, who does fantastic sand sculpturing on Durban beach. You can have your name added and then have a video or picture taken. A small fee is payable for this service !
On Durban's beach we see some beautiful sand sculptures being made. Then we enjoy the botanic garden where we run into the video recording of a big choir. In Durban we also visited some of its most interesting markets (https://youtu.be/AuavZB1dAG8). We visited South Africa on our overland trip from the Netherlands to South Africa and South America; see our channel https://www.youtube.com/user/JanvanBekkum for hundreds of clips.
For more on this and other stories please visit http://www.enca.com/ October 4 - Some Durban artists have been rewarded for their creativity and patience. Three of them have scooped cash prizes at a sandcastle-building competition.
The 2nd annual Durban Sand Castle Contest was held on the 22nd September on New Beach in Durban. The theme was tied into the plight of the Rhino which are being hunted at a staggering rate in the country for the use of their horns. As such the professional categories theme was simply "The Rhino" the idea being that during the day a herd of them would slowly emerge from the sands.
