At the end of October 2014, the Hibiscus Coast Municipality took a decision to grant official naked beach status to a beach on the KwaZulu Natal South Coast.
Mpenjati Naturist Beach was set to open by the end of Easter.
But plans to open the beach have been delayed following objections from church groups, who have opposed the concept since the Hibiscus Coast municipality first granted the beach nudist-friendly status at the end of October 2014.
