WATCH: City of uMhlathuze warns against beach joyrides

While it not only poses a danger to beachgoers, driving your vehicle onto the beach is also prohibited.

This is the warning issued by the City of uMhlathuze which has placed beach security on high alert.

This comes after a video showing a driver navigating his vehicle along the shoreline in Richards Bay, was captured on Saturday.

The city has warned that it will take stern action against those caught in the act.

“Visitors to our beach areas in the City of uMhlathuze are cautioned against driving on beaches.

“An incident of someone driving on the beach near Alkantstrand was reported this (Saturday) morning,” said uMhlathuze Deputy Mayor Christo Botha.

“This behaviour is unacceptable and will lead to fines, with the vehicle and driver being red-flagged.

“It is disappointing that some individuals show no regard for their community and environment.”
