THE CEO of South Coast Tourism and Investment Enterprise (SCTIE), Dr Vusumuzi Sibiya, said their beaches were ready to welcome holidaymakers this summer season.

“We have 58 golden beaches, renowned for top-class surfing, swimming, snorkelling, fishing, stand-up paddling, and many other water-based activities. Once again, the KZN South Coast boasts the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in the province, which is a testament to the quality water, safe bathing conditions, and commitment to sustainability.”

Sibiya said their beaches were monitored for compliance in accordance with the South African water quality guidelines for coastal marine waters.

“Water samples were taken monthly by Ugu Environmental Health Services for analysis, out of season, and twice weekly in season.”

“The festive season is the KZN South Coast’s busiest time traditionally, and we are anticipating bumper visitor numbers this year,” said Sibiya
