Durban: All beaches are closed until further notice!

The eThekwini Municipality, the local government body responsible for governing and managing Durban in KwaZulu-Natal, has announced that all City beaches are closed until further notice. Following the recent heavy rains the murky sea water is full of logs and other unsafe objects. As a result, the shark nets at most beaches were broken making beaches unsafe for the public to use. All water activities at beaches in Durban are therfore prohibited. However, residents and visitors can still enjoy other activities along the beaches that do not require them to come into contact with sea water. According to the announcement by the eThekwini Municipality, work is already underway to fix the shark nets and infrastructure that was damaged by the heavy rains. We'll keep you posted!
