EThekwini Municipality wishes to inform the public that all City beaches are closed until further notice.
This decision was advised by the Natal Sharks Board due to murky water which is full of logs and other unsafe objects due to the recent heavy rains. As a result, the shark nets at most
beaches were broken making beaches unsafe for the public to use. All water activities are prohibited. However, residents can still enjoy other activities along the beach that do not require them to come into contact with seawater. Beachgoers are urged to heed this warning. Teams are hard at work fixing the nets and infrastructure that was damaged by the heavy rains. The City apologises for the inconvenience.
