H20

H20 is part of Durban's everyday infrastructure in a way most people don't consciously notice until they need it. Neighbourhood grocery stores anchor communities—they're where people who can't drive far go to shop, where regulars become familiar, where credit arrangements might exist if someone's having a hard month. They're also essential during load shedding, when people make quick shopping trips because they can't rely on their home freezer staying cold. In a city with pockets of real deprivation alongside wealthier areas, a accessible local grocer isn't a luxury; it's the difference between feeding your family well or scraping by with whatever's left after transport costs.
