While the eThekwini Municipality has confirmed the closure of three beaches, it might be too early to assume these beaches will remain closed over the upcoming Eastern weekend.
According to reports, Laguna Beach, Doonside Beach and Winklespruit Beach are closed to bathers.
However, responding to IOL, eThekwini Municipality spokesperson Gugu Sisilana said the City cannot confirm any beach closures for the long weekend - at this stage.
"Water quality tests will be conducted again next week, and the results will determine whether the water at any of the beaches meets the required safety standards for public use.
"At this time, the City cannot confirm any beach closures for the Easter long weekend," Sisilana said.
