Hello Durban

characters, miming, maskandi music, chants and is accompanied by a band.

5 OCTOBER: FROM WHERE I STANDJoin Durban local Richelieu Beaunoir in his first one man show as he embarks you on his life`s journey growing up in his hometown, Newlands East. The story of himself as told by himself. With his sharp wit and quick tongue, Mr B endearingly shares his quirky observations and situational awk-ardness through family stories and crazy personal experiences. A proud Durbanite, his unique style of comedy leaves no stone unturned as he questions and dissects all that he encounters. Unapologeti-cally straightforward, this show promises to leave audiences with a keen eye for observations.

8-20 OCTOBER: AMAMBAZOA musical created by Professor J. Shabalala directed by Edmund Mhlongo paying tribute to in-ternationally acclaimed South African Ischatamiya group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Though the carefully selected music of the group, AMAMBA-ZO tells the story of a young man longing for the love of a beautiful young maiden, Nomathemba. After a series of struggles, challenges, competi-tions, sufferings – the young man finally received his victory – imbazo – the axe (music charm) helps him to achieve historic victory. AMAMBAZO can be interpreted as the subtext of South Africa’s jour-ney from suffering to historic democracy in 1994 – a story of peace, unity and reconciliation.

11 OCTOBER: TATS NKONZO 2ND BASEOn his debut Durban appearance, comedian Tats Nkonzo is not holding back. With a massive arsenal of observational humour, cutting intellect and a gui-tar, Tats Nkonzo brings a flavor to stand-up comedy that is unrivalled. Winner of the Breakthrough Act of the Year at the 2012 South African Comics Awards, he has managed to harness and integrate comedy and music to exhilarating effect.

DURBAN BOTANIC GARDEN9A John Zikhale Road, BereaTel: 031 309 9240 www.durbanbotanicgardens.org.za

Founded in 1849, Africa’s oldest surviving botani-cal gardens houses one of the world’s top collec-tions of “living fossil” plants. These pre-dinosaur cycads (seed-producing plants extending back 250 million years) face possible extinction in the wild. The Wood’s Cycad species is named for founding Durban Botanic Gardens curator and botanist John Medley Wood, who, in 1895, discovered a single, surviving cycad plant in a Zululand forest. Walking through the Gardens’s cycad forest is a bit like stepping onto the set of Jurassic Park. No dinosaurs here, but the pink-backed pelicans sitting in the trees do look eerily like pterodactyls.

UMGENI RIVER BIRD PARK

Designed and built by Dr. Alan Abrey in an old quarry site, the Umgeni River Bird Park was opened in April 1984. The park was owned private-ly by a group of bird lovers who wanted to educate others about birds from around the world. It was run by Alan Abrey until his retirement in 1997, and in those years the artwork for the park (guidebook illustrations, park maps, and so forth) were done by his daughter Robyn Abrey.

Set in a land filled and landscaped former quarry, the park includes several natural waterfalls. Paths for visitors wind through three aviaries and past other aviaries and open exhibits. A viewing window in the nursery lets visitors see how the birds are hatched and raised.

Construction of the Free Flight Bird Show arena was started in 1995, with the venue staging its first show in 1996.

The Free Flight Bird Show, opened in 1996, fea-tures birds from North and South America, Africa,

Indonesia, and Australia, and emphasizes conserva-tion. Birds in the show includes a owls, cranes, hornbills, macaws, kookaburras, toucans, vultures, in an open air auditorium. The show is staged twice daily, weather permitting.

The park breeds 17 of the 24 threatened bird spe-cies in its collection. The park is involves with the South Africa Crane Working Group in breeding and then releasing the Wattled Crane. The birds are hand-reared using a glove puppet, and are then released near Dullstroom. Wattled cranes are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List, and there are only about 8000 in the wild.

MITCHELL PARK ZOO

Every day of the year could feel like a holiday, especially if you make your way to Mitchell Park. Named after Sir Charles Bullen Hugh Mitchell, the park was established in the early half of the previews century as an ostrich farm. That venture did not go as well as planned, so it was transformed into a zoo instead.

Back then, a large variety of animals, including lions, leopards, crocodiles and many varieties of

bird, occupied a large part of the zoo. The remain-der consisted of beautifully landscaped gardens. One of the most memorable animals at the zoo at the time was Nellie, an Indian elephant.

Today Mitchell Park has a whole host of small animals and birds for you to visit, including crocodiles, buck, raccoons, cranes, flamingoes, wallabies, monkeys and tortoises. There is a walk-through aviary that allows you to get close-up views of many beautiful bird varieties.

A sand-filled playground allows small children to enjoy playing on jungle gyms, swings, slides and other equipment. Paraplegic facilities make sure that even physically challenged visitors have a great time. While you play, mom can relax and enjoy tea or a meal at the Blue Zoo tea garden, nestled among trees and attractive flowerbeds.

Carefully tended lawns are perfect for family pic-

nics, and even skottle braais are allowed. Mitchell Park’s staff members take an interest in educating children on the animal and plant worlds. They teach visitors how to preserve our natural wonders so that future generations may also enjoy them.

Durban’s CBD in partnership with Metro Police, South African Police (SAP) and Tourist Protection Unit, have made a considerable effort to safeguard tourists against crime. Surveillance cameras and improved lighting have been installed on the beachfront, and security guards watch over most shopping centres and large businesses. Nonetheless, visitors to our city should take the sensible precau-tions they would in any major city. Avoid carrying large sums of money,
