Beaches north of the Umgeni River up to Salt Rock remain closed as a precautionary measure after the spill that occurred when a chemical warehouse in Cornubia was torched during the recent unrest in Durban.
Dead fish have washed up on the beaches of Umhlanga and Umdloti, prompting a warning from eThekwini municipality for bathers and fishermen to steer clear.
“Collecting or harvesting of any marine living resource in the area is temporarily prohibited as they have been exposed to toxic chemicals and could be harmful to human health. This warning and temporary closure of beaches remains in place until the threat has been determined to be abated,” said municipal spokesperson Msawakhe Mayisela.
