eThekwini’s Climate Reality: Rising Seas, Hotter Summers, and Durban’s Fight to Adapt.

By Norma Duma

Durban, 2026 If you live in eThekwini, you’ve already felt climate change. It’s not just headlines and graphs. It’s the king tides creeping closer at Addington Beach, the summer heat that won’t break at night, and the memory of April 2022 when floods ripped through communities from Inanda to Amanzimtoti.

*What’s changing in Durban*

1. Sea level rise + storm surges: Durban’s coastline is one of SA’s most vulnerable. Higher tides and stronger storms now threaten homes, roads, and tourism infrastructure along the beachfront and Bluff.

2. Heat + drought cycles: Summers are getting hotter and drier inland. That puts pressure on water security for a city of 4 million people.

3.Extreme rainfal: When it rains, it pours. The 2022 floods showed how climate change + aging infrastructure hit informal settlements and low-lying areas hardest.

*What eThekwini Municipality is doing*

The City’s climate plan focuses on “adaptation” — adjusting so Durban can still function as things change. Key moves include:

- Early warning systems for floods and storms to give communities more time

- Wetland + dune restoration along the coast to act as natural buffers against waves

- Green corridors & urban foreststo cool the city and absorb rainwater

- Renewable energy projects to cut emissions and reduce load on the grid

*What residents can do*

1. *Know your risk* — check if your area is in a flood zone or heat hotspot

2. *Get involved locally* — libraries and community halls are running climate talks + clean-up drives

3. *Small actions add up* — water-wise habits, planting trees, reducing waste

Durban won’t stop changing. But by reading the signs, sharing knowledge, and acting together, eThekwini can write a different ending to the climate story.

One City, One Book: eThekwini Turns to Station Life Repair to Keep Our Stories Alive

By Norma Duma

eThekwini, 2026 — For the next two years, eThekwini won’t just be talking about development and service delivery. We’ll be talking about one book: “Station Life Repair” by Elana Bregin.

The eThekwini Municipality has launched the latest OneCityOneBook campaign, and the message was clear reading isn’t just a school task. It’s how we preserve who we are.

“Reading is more than turning pages,” the City said at the launch. “It’s about preserving stories, understanding our roots, and connecting with one another.”

Why Station Life Repair matters now?

Elana Bregin’s Station Life Repair is set as our shared story for 2026-2027. From KwaMashu to Chatsworth, from Umlazi to the Berea, residents are being asked to read, reflect, and discuss the same pages.

The campaign ties directly into eThekwini’s push to strengthen connections to heritage, culture, traditions, and shared stories. The idea: when we read together, we learn together, we remember together, and we protect the values that shape our identity as a city.

Libraries, schools, and community halls will become the main hubs. Expect reading circles, learner debates, author talks, and mobile pop-ups at taxi ranks and malls so the book reaches people where they already.

The OneCityOneBook campaign frames reading as community work. It promotes lifelong learning and keeps culture and traditions alive for the next generation.
Castle Hill Primary School was one of the schools whose learners participated in a book review ,they reviewed different books and gave summaries of that particular book they read

It didn't end there , there were also celebrities who attended the One city One book launch , amoung those was famous and world renowned Dr Leleti Khumalo ,a young man who made his name as one of the contestants in the Big brother house Ashay Sewlall, comedian Celeste Ntuli, Simphiwe Shembe and many more others took t
