Durban residents have hit out at the eThekwini municipality’s failure to maintain the popular Rachel Finlayson pool on the city's beachfront promenade, which is empty and derelict.
“Now that we have appointed a contractor we can get the pool up and running again. In addition, officials are also finalising the appointment of a contractor to repair the children’s amusement centre pool, also at the beachfront,” said Kaunda.
Westville resident Peter Velleman, who takes walks on the Golden Mile promenade weekly, said he is appalled by the state of the beachfront pools. One said: “Durban is in shambles. I am so angry and disappointed. All talk no actions, nothing, and I mean nothing works in this city. A total decline.”
