Another beach in KwaDukuza has been closed today as safety measures following the Saturday sewage spill along Simbithi Drive which contaminated Thompsons Bay.
The municipality in KwaDukuza said that they were informed of possible contamination of Willard Beach, and as a result of that update, it necessitated them to effect a temporary closure pending the results of the water tests.
