Frustrated Amanzimtoti residents are pushing for the installation of warning signs on local beaches as concerns grow over recurring chicken slaughter rituals that they say are leaving carcasses behind, creating hygiene concerns and upsetting beachgoers.
The dispute has reignited debate around the balance between cultural practices, public health and the use of shared recreational spaces.
Residents say their efforts to erect privately funded signs prohibiting chicken slaughter on public beaches have stalled because they have been unable to secure approval from eThekwini Municipality.
