Southern beaches generally include Dakota, Pipeline, Amanzimtoti Main, Doonside, Baggies, Winklespruit, Karridene, and Umgababa beaches.
As the temperatures plummet and winter sets in, the pioneer silver shoals have started making their way up the coast, with netting happening from Winklespruit to Scottburgh. The sardine run coincides with heightened marine activity, as sharks and birds join in the feeding frenzy.
Swimming will remain banned until further notice.

KZN braces for icy blast as snow looms over Drakensberg
KZN residents should brace for plummeting temperatures and the possibility of snow over the southern Drakensberg this weekend, as a powerful winter weather system sweeps across the country.

While temperatures in the Midlands and the foothills of the Drakensberg are expected to drop significantly, SAWS forecasts show that the cold will ease slightly from Monday as a warming trend sets in. Meanwhile, light to moderate rain is also on the cards for parts of KZN today, with a 30% chance of isolated showers expected across the southern parts of the province and into the Free State.
