THE KZN Sharks Board has announced that shark safety gear has been reinstalled and bathing reopened at Durban beaches, from uShaka to Suncoast.
Mike Anderson-Reade, head of operations, said the Board will continue to deploy gear at the remaining beaches.

“It should be noted however that intense sardine and associated predator activity is still being experienced on the upper south coast between Illovu and Scottburgh. The Board will continue to monitor this activity and only replace gear at beaches within this region once the activity subsides,” he said.
The nets were removed on 25 July due to strike action by staff over wages. An agreement has since been made with unions over increases.
