Residents and visitors have complained about a “sewage”-like stench emanating from puddles of water that are draining on to the sand close to the promenade at North Beach. TheMercurySA
Taleesha Gopaul of Gauteng, who went to the beach for a walk and an ice cream on Sunday, said she had noticed the smell near the lifeguard station.
Raylen Naidoo, also of Gauteng, said the stench was like a “very strong sewage smell”, and he had noticed that section of the beach had been cordoned off, so he had assumed the problem was being attended to. Thandiwe Shandu, who works at a food outlet on the beachfront, said she had first noticed the smell “about three weeks back” and hoped it would be dealt with as it was affecting her customers.
EThekwini Municipality spokesperson Msawakhe Mayisela said the city would send its teams to investigate the possible sewage leak.
