The beaches had been opened at the beginning of November after eThekwini said the bacteria levels were within an acceptable range.
Ward 97 councillor André Beetge said Amanzimtoti Main and Pipeline beaches remain open. “Winklespruit also remains closed with both Warner Beach and Reunion beaches closed due to inconsistent water-quality results,” said Beetge.
The Umgababa swimming pool, however, remains open to the public.
