Look out on the horizon... Seems like a jacking platform or drilling rig with a crane.. but someone with more or better information, help us out.

Looks like an HLV ship - a particularly tall one at that.

Edit: might be one of Durban's new ship-to-shore vessels?

Edit 2: There is currently a Bo Qiang 3060 just off Umhlanga at the moment. It is probably that.

Speaking of magic, are you a MTG player in Durban? I didn't know anyone played that down here except for that game shop in Hillcrest.

There's also a place in Kloof called The Batcave iirc. Warhammer, pokemon, mtg, dnd

Yeah, I go in from time to time and buy a new iron-on badge. Haven't got anything to iron the badges on to yet but when I do, boy will I be ironing all day. Lots of Pokemon and MTG badges. The foundation of my teenage years

There's a shop in Umhlanga, next to gateway, called the big bang shop, travel over there, and you will find that which u seek.

This sounds like a line from Monty Pyhton

I'm an MTG player but I actually live in Joburg! But seems your people are congregating below :)

Batcave is a place I've ordered from a few times :)

There’s also the game shop opposite the Seattle coffee in la Lucia, close to broadway iirc.

There was one inside the Kensington Square center in Broadway called Kapow. Unfortunately they closed down a while ago due to covid.
