KZN’s unofficial neighbourhood slogans
“Where your rent has a trust fund”: KZN locals share the funniest neighbourhood slogans
Every neighbourhood has a reputation.
Some are known for their beaches. Others for their traffic.
Then there are the places where everyone knows everyone… and your business before you do.
On East Coast Breakfast, we asked listeners to give their neighbourhood an unofficial slogan.
Let’s just say… KZN absolutely delivered.
Here are some of our favourites:
Umhlanga: Where your rent has a trust fund.
Westbrook: Where dolphins are more reliable than your cellphone signal.
Westville: Pinetown, but with Woolies food.
Bluff: Truck… truck… truck… truck.
Howick: Newlywed or nearly dead.
Merebank: The only bank you can’t rob.
Hillcrest: The city in the countryside.
Verulam: Tongaat’s louder cousin.
Scottburgh: Durban after retirement.
Newcastle: KZN’s honorary Free State.
KwaMashu: Where legends are made.
Ballito: Johannesburg’s favourite suburb.
Amanzimtoti: Come for the beach, stay because of the N2 traffic.
