We will be updating the MediaWiki software on the Community Memory site today, between 9 and 12.  During this time, the site may be unavailable.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Ulwazi needs your help to write the history of soccer in Durban.  If you have stories of famous football players or clubs in or from Durban please submit them to us, along with any photographs or audio/video recordings.

We currently have a category Soccer in Durban but could do with a lot more information on what made soccer so vibrant in Durban, from the 50s and 60s up until the present day.

The Ulwazi Community Memory database is populated with content from volunteer field-workers.  Sometimes they don’t have access to all the information necessary to write a comprehensive article or else an entry would benefit from an image or better categorization.  We encourage the internet community at large and particularly people connected to the city of Durban to register an account through our wiki and help improve the Ulwazi Community Memory by editing and adding to articles.
