A stretch of beach at Vetch’s Pier was set aside for African bathers in 1929, and beach segregation was introduced by Natal Provincial Notice No. 206 of 1930. Despite lacking any facilities, including life-savers, large numbers of African and Indian residents visited the beaches allocated to their communities. After apartheid was established in 1948 the National Party government imposed segregation more strictly. The Reservation of Separate Amenities Act of 1953 was amended to include beaches in 1960, followed by further regulations. In particular, the Reservation of Separate Amenities Ordinance No. 37 (Natal), segregated all of Durban’s beaches according to race group, and reserved the safest and most conveniently located beaches for whites. The “African Bathing Beach” was relocated to this site, now renamed “Laguna Beach”. Regardless of efforts relax racist discrimination on beaches during the late 1970s and 1980s, these laws were only repealed in October 1990. 26 Inkosi ehlakaniphileyo iyahlakaza ababi, iphindisele phezu kwabo ukushinga kwabo. 27 Umoya womuntu uyisibani sikaJehova, siphenya konke okuphakathi komuntu.
