Umdloti Beach Kwa Zulu Natal
Along the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal North Coast in South Africa, one will find Umdloti Beach. A charming resort village positioned at the mouth of the Mdloti River, about 24 km north-east of Durban.
The town of Umdloti gets its name from the Mdloti River, located just north of the town. It was named by the Zulu people because of the abundance of wild tobacco plants that grew on the sand banks of the river.

Hi. Greetings from the United States of America.
Hello, and welcome
In the 1980's the road I drove from Richard's Bay to Johannesburg used to run right through the outskirts of the town. I drove up and down every week. One Saturday morning around 1 I was on the final leg returning to Johannesburg. I had a 325iS BMW and went trough a lone speed trap there at a speed I cannot post here. The traffic official just shook his head, told me he does not even have a guide in his fine book for that speed, told me to drive carefully (not slower) and wished me the best of luck. I miss the days when I was younger and the world more free than it is today.
That's a very lovely quiet place Standerton my home town born growing old here
Looks so peaceful here!
My grandfather was 55
I miss this place
Sasolburg ! A gem in the Free State 🇿🇦 🌼
Not the same town as years ago everything is falling apart just like the rest of our beautiful country
WOW
Our small towns have gone backwards - dirty and neglected .... this is the norm in Africa .... very sad.
My home town, I grew up here in a nearby farm called Rhino Lodge Game Farm❤❤❤
This was great , i recommend doing it again on a sunny day
My hometown, I’m homesick 😢
My hometown ❤
Moolman not Muller. I'm very old.
I come from Val. Our postbox was No 2. The Muller's was No 1.
A very beautiful stretch of coast line
So sad,I used to jol there ,appi at Springfield colliers, 1982
Also an olympic size swimming pool at Sasolburg is named after the golden girl of swimming namely PENNY HEYNS. Regular championships take place there. SASOL abbreviation of the afrikaans "Suid Afrikaanse Steenkool en Olie Maatskappy."
This video must've been taken a while back though it seems to have been uploaded 4 months ago, I say this because the roads are now in a much better condition.
28 January to be exact ✌
Named after commandant Adriaan Hendrik Stander of the farm Grootverlangen on which Standerton was established. Just outside Standerton on the Bethal road is the Grootdraai dam. This dam was specially built to supply water to SASOL 2&3 at Secunda via a canal to a dam (Trichardtsfontein) at Trichardt. The Trichardtsfontein dam was enlarged. It was previously a much smaller dam that supplied water for steam locomotives at Trichardt. Mayor Queen Radebe-Khumalo ordered (2008) the destruction of the Great Trek memorial (because it means nothing) but a court order reversed it for restoration. Was it done? I do not know that . . . During 1975 a huge flooding of Standerton took place. In your video at 24:00 is where the water reached. Houses and the mosque were under water. Motor boats enjoyed the streets ignoring the red lights of robots!!! Building of the Grootdraai dam reduced flooding but I understand it still happened afterwards. Great to see how speed humps and potholes can reduce speed . . .
Thanks for sharing the wealth of information @peetschabort1080! Some history is hard to find.
Great video, however "Whites" meant white students only. Stanger my birth town, please do a video on Stanger
Thank you for these videos , especially for us who are armchair travellers. I find the historical content quite informative. Please provide us with similar videos of Darnall, the town of Tugela and nearby Harold Johnson nature reserve, as well as Mandini.
It is our pleasure, and thank you for watching. We are glad that you find our videos informative and entertaining. We will look into those towns that you've mentioned in the future when we are next in the area.
you didn't show potholes,!!
Thanks for your comment, it was not intentional 😃
Not Me Spotting My House On This Video 😊😊😊.
Thanks for the comment! Hopefully, We'll get your house on film next time 😄
How is the entrance?
An entrance fee of R17.00 per person is charged at the entrance to the falls. The terrain was neat and well maintained. The security guard on duty ensured the safety of vehicles and belongings. A short hike takes you to the foot of the falls,
Great video❤
Thank you for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed the video and found it entertaining.
The ANC has done a great job to destroy Vanderbijlpark.
I know many say negative things about SA but one can't deny that despite it's issues it is objectively a beautiful.

In the kingdom of the zulus
Vanderbijlpark is not in nor part of Johannesburg. Together with Vereeniging and Sasolburg; Vanderbijlpark forms the Vaal Triangle.
Not sure what you are implying. No where in the video did they say it was part of Johannesburg…

Guys can the song title of your songs please 🙏
Sir you and your channel are so so amazing how do gather all this information i love the. Way you do you research guys
It means a lot to us that you're taking something away from our videos, so thank you for that. Make sure you don't miss any of our future videos by subscribing if you haven't already.
We travelled 300km one way to visit the Park, bringing a visitor from America along. That was in 1998. As soon as our braai fire was lit, a minibus with youths stopped and twenty-odd guys spilled out, very noisily, and emptied two large bins fklled with cans of beer. They were rowdy, rude and our day was spoiled. We never visited our regular old haunt again.
Sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, encounters like that can really impact our enjoyment of a place we once loved. It's a shame that one negative experience overshadowed all the good memories you had at the Park.
On 21/07/2024 just discovered this channel 😊 so far i watched 4vedios. Keep up the good work sir your video's are so educational mind calming what i noticed and liked.you truly doing you Research very well 👊🏾💯🇿🇦
