After being forced to commemorate Pride at home for the past two years, LGBTIQ+ Durbanites will finally be able to take to the streets for Durban Pride on Saturday 25 June. But expect a more serious and less jovial edition.
While details are still slim, Mambaonline understands that Durban Pride 2022 will consist of a public address, a protest march and a vigil. (The last Durban Pride event was held in June 2019.)
The organisers said that due to a lack of resources, they “regretfully” will not be hosting a celebration after the march, as has been the case in previous years.
There will also not be a zone for cooler boxes and no public drinking will be allowed.
However, “there will be many independent parties and functions being organised around Durban on the weekend,” the organisers noted.
They also insisted that in the wake of the recent challenges faced by the city and province, including the Covid-9 pandemic, Durban Pride cannot be “business as usual”.
“Regrettably abuse, ridicule, homelessness, domestic violence, gender-based violence and hate crimes towards LGBTI+ people did not observe C19 lockdown,” they said,
“Some could not access services and much-needed treatment or support, some were without homes, and others were kicked out of home, or locked in with perpetrators. Many were violated and murdered for being LGBTI or perceived to be LGBTI.
“Then came civil unrest and recently floods which combined have left more homeless, jobless and fighting for resources.”
Durban Pride 2022, the organisers continued, will focus on “demanding better access to services, safety and security, safe housing, job creation and employment for LGBTI people.”

Chris Pratt stars in and executive produces the new Prime Video series “The Terminal List,” about Navy SEAL James Reece (Pratt) who starts suspecting something complex and sinister was behind his entire platoon being ambushed during a mission. It marks the Marvel star’s first time as one of the bosses on a television series.Although the shoots on the show based on Jack Carr’s bestselling novel were long, and for much of the cast playing members of the military physically taxing, the cast had nothing but praise for their co-star and EP.“What you see is what you get in terms of his great attitude and his enthusiasm,” Jeanne Tripplehorn, who plays Defense Secretary Lorraine Hartley in the series, told TheWrap.Tripplehorn, whose character interacts with Reece as he starts following up on his hunch, said there was a few-month period where she didn’t see Pratt as he filmed more intense material. Despite the emotional demands and physicality of that time, she said her co-star returned for their later-episode scenes with the same enthusiasm he started with.“He energizes everybody by his presence, but I didn’t know what I was going to find four months later, three months down the line,” she continued.
