WARNING: Sharks Board reduces number of protected beaches

THE KwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board announced today that due to the current industrial action by its staff, it has been compelled to temporarily reduce the number of protected beaches.

In a statement the organisation’s head of operations Mike Anderson-Reade said, “The organisation is currently able to service with the limited resources available. Visitors to the beaches are requested to check with the lifeguards prior to entering the water. The Board will continue to render services to the best of its ability during this period.”
