Head of Parks and Recreation Thembinkosi Ngcobo says they are hoping to reopen beaches by tomorrow.
"They will then make an assessment which they normally do in the early hours of the morning, before six o'clock. They will than advise us whether or not we should continue to close our beaches but we're hoping that the situation will improve given that apparently the rains have stopped. Then we will make the announcement once we have received advice from them," he said.
