28 November 2013 | My Durban

There’s nothing more Mzansi than a shisanyama! It’s a dining experience like no other: sizzling wors fresh off the flames, hot-off-the-grill steaks just how you like them, all served with traditional sides and all washed down with a cold one before you get the party started. It’s the stuff weekends are made of, and the party friends are made for. So if you’re looking for a truly Mzansi dining experience, take your pick of some of Durban’s many hot shisanyamas.

Durbs Thursdays – shebeen there, done that

31 October 2013 | My Durban

As Durbanites, we all have our go-to weekend hangouts. For some, it’s the hot and happening buzz of Florida Road. For others, it’s the quiet local where everyone knows your name (cue Cheers theme tune). And for some, your good ol’ pozzie is where it’s always at. But what about doing something completely different? See new faces, taste new flavours, jive to new music... We’re talking about going on a shebeen tour... Shebeens are the epitome of Mzansi - the great vibe and welcoming l...
