What to know locally in Durban
Plastic chairs fill yards in Umlazi, KwaMashu, Inanda and Lamontville for funerals, prayer meetings and stokvel days, usually white and stacked off a truck on Friday. Temple halls and wedding venues in Chatsworth and Phoenix lean on gold Tiffany chairs, while Umhlanga garden functions ask for Wimbledon or cross back chairs. Bar stools go to Florida Road style launches and beachfront rooftop parties. In the humidity, ask that chair pads arrive dry and bagged.
Durban: the events, the weather and the hire firms
Few cities book chairs for as many reasons on one Saturday. Hindu weddings in Chatsworth and Phoenix can run over several days and want tents, Tiffany chairs, a stage for the couple and plenty of tables; funerals and unveilings in Umlazi and KwaMashu need a tent and plastic chairs in the yard by Friday; and corporate functions in Umhlanga want cocktail tables and lounge sets. Most hire firms work from industrial areas such as Prospecton, Jacobs, Springfield and Riverhorse Valley and send trucks across the metro. Summer brings humid heat and sudden downpours, so ask for tent sides and flooring, and mention steep Berea or Westville driveways when you describe access.
