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.

Here are a couple of guidelines on what could be improved in articles.

  1. The article has no English summary.
  2. The article has no Zulu summary.
  3. The article has numerous spelling / grammatical errors.
  4. The article needs more information.
  5. The article needs one or more images.
  6. The article needs captions to the images.
  7. The article is not correctly categorized.
  8. The article is incorrectly formatted.
  9. The article needs a new title.
