The developments have been integrated within Transnet National Port Authority’s port of Durban approved master plan.“The objectives of the marina development are to promote world-class tourism, develop Durban and the port as a water sport and recreation mecca, provide viable and sustainable commercial development opportunities with maximum public access, and provide positive linkages and interactions between the yacht basin and the inner-city.

How about you keep poo out of the beaches first?

What plans are set in place for demolishing the slums and convert them in decent housing?

Do these plans included clean beaches, constant electricity and functional roads? Just asking a few questions or is this an extension of the nonsense fairy tale government is trying to sell South Africa?

Umm what about the poo in the water. Unbelievable are these ijits that's rule our shores.

Doesnt matter hoe good it looks its pointless when there is no power to run anything

Yeah right! 😂😂😂😂😂

Had a unit in the precinct Got rid of it Traveling thru a dirty crime invested ANC run municipality was a nightmare Good luck to any future potential investor or make that financial loser

Ah, they are still planning? It sounds like they want to be seen to be doing something, ayi sizobona khona.

The same Durban who’s main north / south highway has been out for over a year, has no electricity and beaches full of shit?

Niwushuyephi uthuvi ogcwele idolobha lonke, wee maaa, ninesikhathi sokudlala

They need to clean the 💩 up first I think!

Who the hell would want to be a tourist in this shit hole country

😂😂🤣😂🤣😂.... Durban is fu*ked. The Zulu nation took a huge big shit on their own doorstep. Abantu Ubuntu.

City of corruption filth and hitmen ... Why wouldn't tourists come rushing.

Fucking hilarious. The ANC are living in their own sci-fi except the theme is the well known animal farm. They literally have no self-respect as humans.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What will be the point, when you have to fear being shot in the head everytime you go out the front door.

🤣🤣🤣🤣You mean Durban as in the filth hole of South Africa's coastal cities?

Konje how many dream cities have the been so far? 1. Lanceria 'smart city' 🤣🤣🤣

And I guess all the light bulbs, appliances and other electrical equipment will be there just for show.

Maybe they could focus on the stuff that's already broken and the crime first?

Sort out the grime and decay first. 🙄

Is it the same contractors that built the smart cities

Dreams. Never happen.

Amadela ngokubona rn

Is that the PYC area? Will be interesting to see if they can get any investors to kick out all the drug dealers and other elements hostile to investment from the derelict buildings in the once beautiful area.

Errr, don't they have to get the basics right. Another get rich scheme for the ANC connected.

Tourists are attracted by 24hr electricity, a sea without sewage and safety. Work on those before revamping the beachfront yet again.

Durban council don’t have that capability

How truly ghastly. We should be spending money on getting SA crime free and no loadshedding before embarking on something like this

Of all the SA cities Durban is complete sh1thole run by career criminals ANC politicians. Waste to spread tax payer money as it will all get looted by the ANC in the process.

Great and Goodluck

Won't work while the place is governed by incompetent crooks. Cannot think who in their right mind would want to invest in that sh1thole

You mean smart city

Let's start by sorting out the sewer, filth in the City and inept municipal workers who spend more time sitting around under the trees. eThekwiniM

Why not start with getting the raw sewage spills fixed first? Iron Man will pull their Durban event if it is not fixed soon. Just one example of not getting the basics right.

Mayor builds the castles in the sky and the councilors are painting it. Voters hope this time it will work and if it doesn’t will vote for the next joke in the hope of something 🙄

If this happens i can assure you Cadres will be owning Private Islands somewhere in the vast seas of exotic destinations.

There's nothing wrong with how Durban currently looks, the problem is crime and criminals in that area.

😂 Nice thought!

First sort out your crime or else this will just be money down the drain

They can call it E-Coliville

Don't do much. Sort out Violence and killings in KZN.

Tendaaaaaaas incoming. Just_A_Ducking dwaine_van

Hahahahha. We can’t even transform a sewerage system

Did they include raw sewerage in the pics

Lol, between the sewerage, crime and no electricity.....who would want to go there ... failedstate

Transform it into a sewage works?

Not another looting spree! They just renovated the place not so long ango.

Lols, this country doesn’t fail to amaze.

😂🤡

Some more pie in the sky bullshit! Dirtbin can even manage it’s sewage 🤣🤣let alone a Dubai type marina and skyline!

What’s futuristic about sewerage floating around in the sea ?
