Durban’s Victoria Street Market is a great place to visit, there’s lots of things to look at. I enjoyed pancakes for lunch there and bought a Zulu cultural outfit with shoes made from car tyres! Whatever you do guys, do not get spice in your eyes, that was not cool! This was a crazy day that I tell everyone about often. You should check it out.

***Not recommended to visit the muti market on your own, chat to Chris or Norma at www.blue-dolphin-ts.co.za and they can arrange a visit for you. They know a whole bunch of cool places in Durban and surrounds

*** Victoria Street Market has underground parking or catch an Uber to the front entrance.

A Cultural Wonder of South Africa

If you want to see the penetration of Zulu culture in Durban go to the Muti Bridge at Victoria Street Market. I did it with a friend who is familiar with the traders and the articles being traded. He offered me background to the market, the bridge and the merchandise. It was extremely educational. The number of Sangomas (traditional healer)s and herbalists in the market is astounding so were the various items for sale. Approach with curiosity and with an open mind. There’s always something to learn and this is even more true in the market.
