The city's spokesperson, Gugu Sisilana, says Warner Beach remains closed. 

 

"In addition to this, the public is reminded that the municipality is constantly monitoring the water quality at all beaches to ensure the safety of residents and tourists.

 

"The municipality has started a process of joint sampling of beach water quality with Adopt-a-River. This is a non-profit organisation whose samples are tested by an independent laboratory, Talbot.

 

"This is to enable credible comparison of test results in the interests of transparency and public safety."
