Man fined for urinating in public at Boardwalk Mall
The Umhlatuze Municipality says it will continue to crackdown on those who disobey the City's bylaws no matter how small they are.
It comes after a man was slapped with a R2 000 fine for urinating in public at the Boardwalk Mall in Richards Bay on Wednesday.
A picture of the fine has since gone viral on social media.
It's been met with praise from residents and councillors who have called for more action to be taken.
Municipal spokesperson Bongani Gina says others have also been arrested for public drinking.
"It affects more than just businesses, but it also affects the image of the city and town. It also infringes the rights of other people.
"You go with your kids to the mall and you don't want them exposed of an old man's genitals. That's public indecency and that may be traumatic to the kids."
