Traders in the Warwick area have started
the process of establishing a formal tour of the Warwick markets in
Durban city centre. These markets have always been of interest
to a range of local and foreign visitors, but the shortage of formal
tour opportunities that provide a verbal explanation of the various
markets has been an obstacle for many visitors. As a result
the traders, with support from Asiye eTafuleni and eThekwini Municipality,
have developed a tour of the nine markets of Warwick:
- The Bead Market
- The Bovine Head Market
- Music Bridge Market
- Clay Market
- Brook Street Market
- Berea Station Market
- Early Morning Market
- Traditional Medicine Market
- Victoria Street Market

International Writers Festival - Durban: 9 13 March 2010
The written word will envelop Durban as writers from around South
Africa and Africa arrive in Durban for a stimulating week of books,
ideas and talk at the 13th Time of the Writer International Writers
Festival (9-13 March). The festival, which is hosted by the Centre for
Creative Arts (University of KwaZulu- Natal), will feature a diverse
gathering of novelists, short story writers, humour writers and
political commentators. Within a precarious funding climate the
Department of Arts and Culture has provided valued core support to make
the production of this year's Time of the Writer possible and thereby
help sustain this important platform which brings literature into the
public domain. Time of the Writer will also host a tribute evening to
the life, creativity and activism of the late Dennis Brutus as the
culmination of a full-day colloquium organised by the Centre for Civil
Society (UKZN).
The writers at the festival include Nigerian Uwem Akpan, whose brilliantly-crafted and nuanced debut collection of stories, Say Youre One of Them,
won last years Commonwealth Prize for Literature Best First Book Award.
Akpans collection was also selected late last year by Oprah Winfreys
Book Club, a prized honour in the publishing world. Joining him in the
panel discussion, Why I Write What I Write, will be the
Durban-born Imraan Coovadia. Coovadia has established himself over
three provoking and intelligent novels, as one of the leading
contemporary South African writers. Zakes Mda, a true giant of the
South African literary landscape, makes a welcome return to the
festival, having just published Black Diamond, which The Weekender called: a defiantly revealing novel about contemporary South Africa…sane and insane, evocative and hilarious… The prolific Mda is the author of South African classics such as The Whale Caller, The Madonna of Excelsior, The Heart of Redness and Ways of Dying amongst others.

The eThekwini Municipal Libraries' Ulwazi Programme needs your help to write the history of soccer in Durban. If you have stories of famous football players or clubs in or from Durban please submit them, along with any photographs or audio/video recordings.
They currently have a category Soccer in Durban but could do with a lot more information on what made soccer so vibrant in Durban, from the 50s and 60s up until the present day.
