Gergina Mitova-Sealby of Ballito is quite irritated:
The beach in front of the Zimbali estate is not a remote, uninhabited beach, but a beautiful beach in front of one of the most expensive estates, not only on the North Coast, but in the whole country.
Which happens to be the most polluted! With ocean litter – brought by the high tide and days later, taken back to the ocean by the next high tide.
A tide/pollution pattern, similar to the other North Coast beaches. Except the residents of Ballito, Chaka’s Rock and Salt Rock seem to be a lot more concerned about their beaches than the Zimbalians are.
North Coast residents don’t wait for conservationists or municipal forces to clean their beaches. We do it ourselves – while walking, jogging or simply having a good time on the beach.
We even do it as part of our celebrations (recently a friend of mine’s birthday party started at 7am with an hour cleanup of the beach between the Galley and Salmon Bay).
We do it because we are concerned about our beautiful coast and about the planet. The Zimbalians, however, don’t seem to give a toss!
