The eThekwini Municipality has closed all its beaches in and around Durban until further notice. This was effective immediately on Wednesday, 18 October. In a brief statement, the municipality said the Natal Sharks Board advised the decision due to murky water, which is full of logs and other unsafe objects due to the recent heavy rains. Furthermore, 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. In September this year, the eThekwini Municipality asserted that Durban’s beaches are suitable for visitors. The municipality’s “beach water quality results” for beaches in the central, northern, and southern zones, which were made available on their website roughly when Talbot conducted its tests, affirm their confidence in safety.
