I have a few punk ass connections from Durban, and have a few more to add to your list...
Chillax - chill
All Golds - shot of tequila, shot of tomato juice with tobasco
Plus, my sister is friends with some peeps down that side, she went to the tattoo convention there last year and was hanging with the freak freaks for a bit. The 2nd best tat place in SA is in Durbs, Electric Eye. (1st is Wildfire of course)
I always though chillax was a CT thing and Hectic as well.
