eThekwini reopens some beaches
Updated | By Lauren Beukes
Some of the beaches in eThekwini reopened to the public on Friday.
They've been closed to bathers for weeks due to high levels of E.Coli.
E.Coli levels in the sea shot up following the floods in April, prompting city officials to bar people from going into the water.
eThekwini says it's been conducting daily tests to monitor levels.
