About This Program

Durban is a programme presented as a single episode that follows the activities of a young man named Clive in the coastal city of Durban, South Africa. The show’s format centres on real‑world initiatives, offering viewers a glimpse into two very different yet equally important community projects that are taking place in the same neighbourhood. In the first part of the episode, Clive becomes part of an anti‑poaching unit that works tirelessly to protect the country’s endangered rhinos from disappearing forever. The team’s efforts are aimed at halting illegal hunting and preserving the remaining rhino population, a task that Clive tackles alongside his fellow volunteers. The second storyline shifts to a surf school where Clade, together with instructors, introduces homeless and disadvantaged children to the sport of surfing, giving them a chance to learn a new skill and enjoy the ocean. The episode juxtaposes these two endeavours, highlighting how one group is fighting to save a threatened species while the other is empowering vulnerable youngsters through surf lessons. By weaving together the themes of wildlife conservation and community outreach, the programme paints a picture of Durban as a place where people are actively working to protect both its natural heritage and its most at‑risk residents.
