If you haven’t caught wind of the Best of Durban Readers’ Choice Awards yet, you’re seriously missing out on the ultimate local showdown. We are three years in and every year we push the envelope in our quest to hunt down Durban’s finest businesses.  And while we get busy publishing where to find them, who they are and what they do, you, the community also has a job. Your job is to introduce us, and ours is to make them unforgettable. You bring the sparkle we bring the magic.

So the top-notch quality and service you experience will be shared with thousands through the Queensburgh News, the Highway Mail, the Northglen News, and the Berea Mail. Whether it’s a cozy café, a cutting-edge gym, or a top-rated service, the Best of Durban Readers’ Choice Awards is where the voices of Durban come together to showcase the ‘best businesses in the hood’.

2025 has been dubbed ‘202-thrive (5)’ and if the past three years of Best of Durban are anything to go by then hold onto your seats because Caxton Local Media is planning to take things up a notch.

Join us in celebrating the people, businesses, and experiences that define our city. Your vote matters, and together, we help Durban shine.
