Nude beach plan on hold

THE battle of Trafalgar between the nudes and the prudes has not been decided.

The issue of permitting nudity on the South Coast beach was hotly debated in the Hibiscus Coast Municipality’s council chambers this week.

And the bid by the naturists to have the beach and a section of the Mpenjati Nature Reserve declared nudist friendly has been a major media topic.

Radio and television stations have argued the case and regional, national and Sunday newspapers have carried reports about the stiff opposition the nudes face from some locals.

In the wake of the outcry the municipality took a resolution this week to defer their decision to their next meeting.

Spokesman Simon Soboyisa said they wanted to make a “sober and informed decision”.
