Once upon a time the Durban beaches were the go-to for everyone. Where swimming happened, where music concerts happened, families and loved ones would not miss the opportunity to go to the beach. The beach was a place for fun, peace, comfort, relaxation, and healing but everything has changed for the worse. The question that everyone asks is what happened because everything has fallen apart and is now black and white.
Walking on the beach was filled with sand and bright sunlight but now is filled with littering of plastic cups, bags, straws, etc. Remember the days in summer in the festive season how the beaches were packed with people from other provinces to touch and smell the beauty of the ocean. South African people coming together and speaking diverse types of languages together and dancing together with oceans. It was really the days of fun where memories were created but now people can only look at the beach and only hear about it.
Humans and environmental pollution have an impact on the Durban beaches. They are no longer satisfying and interesting because of the dirt and high crime rate. People are afraid of being robbed and mugged as every day something bad happens. The Durban beaches have become dangerous, especially for children. Last week on Friday a blue polo vivo car in the South beach area took eight children that were swimming till today they are not found and traceable. The community is shocked and devastated and the children’s families are begging for help. Human trafficking can never stop because some people are evil and love to see other people miserable. The people that were in the blue car are known for human trafficking and send children to various parts of Africa. The Durban community is working together to catch these culprits and bring back the children.
Should we blame humans and the environmental issues?
No one goes to the beaches because of all these issues and the question is when it all will stop because South African cannot be having issues anymore the more the crime rate is increasing the more it affects the growth of South Africa. Since Durban beaches have become a place for crime and pain the more people are not interested in going to them. Change is needed and enough is not enough if we don’t work together as a community.
Protect the Durban beaches and the community
My final words are protecting the beaches is essential and tell those around to fight crime and spread kindness.
Durban beaches are the warmest place to be in and should remain that way.
