COUNTRY Club and eThekwini beaches have been temporarily closed due to high seas that have been forecast for the next few days.
“This decision was taken after careful deliberation with the South African Weather Bureau and the Sharks Board,” said eThekwini head of communications, Tozi Mthethwa.
According to Mthethwa, the closure entails the lifting of shark nets at the two beaches.
