Durban prepares to welcome beachgoers

Beachgoers should get ready as Durban is set to welcome them to the shores of its beach.

Durban plans to open the beach as soon as it gets the right signal.

The city is anticipating regulations from the department of sports, arts and culture that will allow it to reopen its beaches.

Although, under level 2 of the lockdown, beaches are allowed to reopen but further regulations from the department is necessary.

Municipal spokesperson, Msawakhe Mayisela said that the city had started it’s preparation to open the beaches after the government announced that the country had moved to a less strict phase of the lockdown.

“But we must be mindful of the fact that for us to do so, we need to get regulations from the department of sports, arts and culture nationally.

“Once we are in possession of that we will be able to issue a statement to that effect that will actually clarify on how we will go about embarking on this exercise.

“What we are doing now is to ready ourselves to ensure that once those regulations are with us, we are poised to open our beaches,” he said.
