Durban beaches | eThekwini mayor declines DA challenge to swim
The DA in eThekwini waited for the mayor to take up their challenge. If he insists beaches are safe, they wanted him to take the plunge in Umhlanga.

Sewage spills ending up in the ocean forced the closure of beaches, with high levels of E.coli also detected.
But with the festive season fast approaching, the municipality was in the race against time to reopen.
