Ballito's Thompson Bay reopens after sewer line breakdown
Ballito's Thompson Bay and Willard beaches are expected to be reopened to the public on Tuesday.
Thompson Bay was closed over the weekend after a sewer line broke down at Simbithi and overflowed from Ballito Drive down to the beach.
KwaDukuza Municipality says Willard Beach was also closed due to possible exposure.
