ETHEKWINI Municipality has had a change of heart over its decision to close the promenade to the public.
In a second media release on Saturday Mandle Nsele, acting head of Communications for eThekwini Municipality said it had commenced with a deep cleaning and sanitisation of the entire promenade facility to ensure public safety.

As a result, the promenade would be opened for public use under strict conditions, but only to those who live within a 5km radius of the facility and only between 6am and 9am.
Other public spaces including ablution facilities will remain closed until further notice.
