“We are not going to introduce the permit system so there will be traffic on the beachfront, however, minibus taxis and buses will not be permitted on the beachfront. We will have designated parking areas for them at the Durban Drive-In site and other areas away from the beachfront which we will encourage them to use. We will be closing off roads in cases of congestion and will reopen once this has eased,” he said.
