Durban - Every year, thousands of holiday makers descend on Durban - not just for its warm weather but for its beaches along the famed Golden Mile.
But little do people know that the sand on the beaches they are standing on in 2019 is not the same sand they stood on last year. This is due to a variety of eco-factors that sees sand that naturally migrates from southern waters becoming trapped on Durban's south beaches. This requires a little help from dredgers to fill the northern beaches.
This is the work of Transnet National Ports Authority’s Dredging Services division which has been hard at work getting the beaches along Durban’s popular Golden Mile ready to welcome thousands of holidaymakers this festive season.The port landlord’s trailing suction hopper dredgers , Ilembe and Isandlwana, dredge sand from the sand trap on the southern side of the entrance channel and reclaim this onto the Northern beaches.
