Ray Nkonyeni Municipality disclosed that beaches, libraries and museums along the KwaZulu-Natal south coast will reopen on October 1.
This reopening was made known by the Municipality during a virtual meeting hosted by its joint operation centre.

“With regards to repairs of beach facilities, the municipality has regrettably learnt that some have been vandalised during the lockdown period.”
“The municipality will assess the damage, develop a plan to effect repairs so that our beaches will be operational by the set date,” April said.
