    Which ZA seaside town to visit in December 2026

    ^This Marina Beach is cool and if you can afford it, look into staying at the Sanlameer Hotel or in one of the privately rented villas. Lots of nice beaches around there if you want variety.

    Employee who trained dog to bite black people loses Labour Court battle after dismissal for racism
