Hundreds of people cavorted without masks or observing social distancing.
Both Kwazulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape have looked at closing beaches and parks during the festive season.
Durban s beachfront is currently in the midst of its usual December holiday boom, despite the declaration of an official second wave of Covid-19 infections by Health Minister Zweli Mkhize.
News24 visited the Durban beachfront this week where hundreds of residents and tourists were found openly disregarding Covid-19 regulations.
Authorities patrolling the beachfront, including Durban City officials, were seen casually driving past those who were not wearing masks or practising social distancing.
Adjacent to the North Beach pier and heading toward South Beach, huge crowds were observed enjoying the December recess period as usual with law enforcement, within a space of an hour, driving past three to four times without reprimanding anyone.
