The St George’s Beach in Gqeberha’s infrastructure is in a dilapidated condition with beachgoers fearing for their lives and the safety of their children.

The infrastructure is old and rusted, with some areas close to the public. The residents feel that this beach has been abandoned by the municipality, as there has been no revamp or fixing of the structures in years.

They say the municipality needs to bring it back to its former glory.

“It is unsafe here. Children have gone missing because now they have to swim at the beach because they cannot access the swimming pool. This has been going on for a long time. I would like to see the municipality take action and ensure that our safety is not compromised,” says one of the residents.
